Protest action  in  administrative district of Nor Nork  against  another urban development project

ArmInfo. Residents of the capital's Nor Nork district are holding a protest action against what they describe as " lawlessness".

The protesters have blocked  Gai Street with garbage bins. The reason  for the action was the alleged unauthorized alienation of a plot of  land by the Yerevan City Hall, which houses a water pipeline. The  protesters consider this step by the capital's municipality illegal.

Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan's  decision to allow development of the  specified territory, led to the start of tree felling, resulting  in  one tree falling onto the road. According to the participants of the  action, the owner of this land plot is the "so-called opposition  deputy" of the National Assembly Ishkhan Zakaryan, a figure well  known to residents of nearby buildings. In 2020, the National  Security Service of the Republic of Armenia demanded an explanation  from Ishkhan Zakaryan regarding this land plot, which, according to  the current legislation, was not subject to privatization at all. By  their action, the participants want to bring attention to this issue.
