“Luys” (Light) faction at Yerevan Aldermen’s Council stated that the draft budget of Yerevan City has experienced digress as compared with the budget of the year 2018. What about the greening, the faction noted that the budget designed for establishing green zones and their preservation has decreased by 576 million AMD turning 1 billion 93 million AMD out of 1 billion 669 million AMD.

Yerevan Deputy Mayor Hayk Sargsyan commented on the draft budget of Yerevan City for 2019: ‘The volume of the works in any budget line hasn’t decreased, only the figures have decreased, which had been wasted previously and used in a non-substantiated manner. We have made savings with these reductions and optimized the expenses.”

What about greening, he noted, “I would like to ask our partners to personally examine greening areas and check how much they factually are. There is a conviction that these areas are represented more than they are, in fact. And this is where the funds have been wasted. It is obvious for all of us that all the tenders on greening have been won by CJSCs established by Yerevan Municipality. This year we will go for open tenders.”
