Another Construction and Another Tree Felling

EcoLur

Tree felling in Yerevan continue because of construction works: on 13 October EcoLur received an alarm signal about tree felling in the area in front of Karen Demirtchyan Sport and Concert Complex. The construction works were carried out by “Sahakyanshin” CJSC: one tree had been cut down, while two trees had been pruned. Under Levon Ghazaryan, the person in charge of the construction works, the pruned trees will be placed in Dalma gardens for replanting, while the felled tree was not healthy.

Levon Ghazaryan mentioned they have a permit to cut down trees. In the phone call with EcoLur “Sahakyanshin” CJSC office advised that the company had received the permit for Yerevan Municipality Environmental Department Head Avet Martirosyan.

The official website of Yerevan Municipality, www.yerevan.am, mentions how many trees are planted etc. For example, “…in 2012 around 40,000 trees and bushes were planted…” It’s hard to say where these planted trees are located, as we can’t see them, but everywhere we can see construction works and felled trees, about which the municipality keeps silence.
