EcoLur blogger Tehmine Yenoqyan informed that the police removed the tent of green activists in Mashtots Park with the use of force at 21:30 on 14 March. “The reinforced detail arrived in Mashtots Park several minutes ago. A clamour raised and while the attention of activists was diverted, the group of policemen surrounded the tent and didn’t allow the activists to approach it. Now the number of policemen exceeds the number of activists several times. And all this is because of these pavilions.” The blogger asks, “Pavilions have a right to exist, while trees don’t?”
Below is given the statement of the police that placement of tents in public places is banned, and that its demand to dismantle the tent was not carried out. The full text of the statement is given in Armenian.
