Meruzhan Ter-Gulanyan announces the victory of Armenian activists (Video).

The municipal authorities of capital Yerevan decided late on Thursday to suspend the construction activities in Mashtots Park, an Armenian intellectual has said.

In an interview with the local TV channel Yerkir Media, Armenian writer and publicist Meruzhan Ter-Gulanyan, said that the chief architect of Yerevan told an urban development meeting that the decision to build kiosks on the territory was wrong.

Ter-Gulanyan, who is a member of Armenia’s Public Council, said Mayor Taron Margaryan did not act in breach of the law when making the decision; he just hasted a little and selected a wrong place as a result.

“Those kiosks are not expected to be there; that’s just a misunderstanding. As to the environmental activists, they are doing nice job. I praise them, but I am afraid lest those guys should be involved in political intrigues,” he said.

Speaking further, Art Director of the Yerevan State Chamber Theatre Ara Yernjakyan said the activists are already involved in political intrigues as they have told environmentalists about more trees being cut in a construction site in the vicinities of the Matenadaran (repository of ancient manuscrupts).

“I will not address the topic because no one has given them such an instruction,” he said.
