Early in the morning on Thursday, the unknown cut 16 young trees in the area near the Yerevan Dramatic Theater and the building in 28 St. Issahakyan. The building administrator says the trees were cut approximately at 4:00am.
It is already the 4th act of such vandalism by the unknown in the green area in Issahakyan Street. Obviously, one of the native "businessmen" having distorted ideas of business strives to build another facility at the expense of the citizens' health.
Earlier on March 22 at the 12th plenary session of the Public Council of Armenia Mayor of Yerevan Karen Karapetyan said that commercial construction does not run counter to ecology.
"We must understand that we live in a city and will not hear a cockcrow or the voice of the stream. Architecture must be commercial but this commercial architecture must be limited," he said.
