EcoLur -“We Are This City’s Owners”
“We Are This City’s Owners” Civic Initiative received the minutes of the public hearings from Environmental Impact Assessment Center of Nature Protection Ministry of Armenia held on the matter of building a multi-storey building in the Garden of Dragons. Volunteers explained the minutes contain a number of faked signatures.
As a matter of fact, hearings were not hold on that particular day, and this fakes document must serve as a basis for delivering a confirmative decision about construction. During out visits to the flats, following falsifications were detected:
- Instead of public hearings, signature collecting was conducted among people they knew,
- a huge number of signatures were fakes, while these people had no idea about that particular problem,
- most surveyed confirmed with their own signatures they took no participation in the hearings and their signatures were faked,
- signatories were told a playground is to be constructed,
- many signatures were put by minors,
To sum up the abovementioned it could be concluded in this case we speak about serious violations that imply criminal responsibility.
