Cutting off 10 Meters from Tree Means Pruning?!!!

EcoLur

EcoLur has received an alarm signal from Kapan that a sycamore was cut down in the town centre. As Association of Young Lawyers Syunik Regional Division Chairman Arshavir Khalapyan told EcoLur, this sycamore was an obstacle for the nearby cafe, that's why it was cut off. Kapan Aarhus Centre Coordinator Ashot Avagyan has applied to the Municipality and received an answer that this was not cut down, but pruned, as the upper part was a threat for nearby buildings. As a matter of fact, only 4 meters is left from the 10-meter-long tree which enables Kapan Mayor to assert it was a pruning. Arshavir Khalapyan has applied to Syunik Regional Division of the State Environmental Inspection and received a reply from Inspection Head Lenik Petrosyan that the main responsibility vests on Kapan Municipality.
