An alarm signal has been disseminated through Facebook from Qanaqer Quarter, Yerevan. So, the First Informational writes: “Wide-scale civil works have already been launched in Qanaqer Garden: Qanaqer resident Sevak Mnatsakanyan has raised an alarm signal. It’s the 5th day fast-rate tree felling and garden asphalting cause concerns to no only to Sevak, but also the whole population in Qanaqer. All this started one year ago. Then they constructed a cafe in this territory and cut down 7 trees in the surroundings saying they had been stolen. Now they are enlarging the territory by conducting new felling”.
Nature Protection Ministry has responded in the following way: “Arabkir Quarter Municipality employees have conducted tree felling in Banavan Garen, Qanaqer. Nature Protection Ministry Press Secretary Hasmik Mkrtchyan made this statement in her interview with NEWS.am correspondent on April 30: “It was a rotten tree which has bent down because of winds. Our inspectors arrived in the scene when the tree was being cut down which was done with Arabkir Qurater Head’s permission, which will be given to families in need,’ he said.
Under Hasmik Mkrtchyan, there are no civil works at all; just the whole territory is being dug out to plant trees and flowers”.
