The civic movement "Let's save the monument from the oligarch" demands that the Police of Armenia should ensure the security of the activists who are going to stop the illegal construction in the area of the Indoor Market in Yerevan on August 31.
The statement of the movement says that the activists have to take this step, because they repeatedly called on the authorities of Yerevan to take proper measures to stop the construction, but their calls were ignored. "Given the numerous facts of the Indoor Market owner's violations of law and the relevant structures' decisions, the movement is concerned with possible provocations against the movement participants. For this reason, we demand that the Police should ensure the activists' security", says the statement.
To recall, despite the public protests, construction in the area of the Indoor Market is still going on. According to media reports, the Indoor Market will open as an ordinary supermarket on September 15. The owner of the Indoor Market is oligarch-parliamentarian Samvel Alexanyan.
