Scavenging in "Better Yerevan" (video)

It has been a long time since the election campaign of Yerevan Council of Elders started. Candidates nominated by parties meet with citizens, give some promises and try to restore confidence in Yerevan's residents.

Following the campaign of parties it becomes apparent that the latter focus on the problems that are possible and egregious, but are not very important for the residents of the capital.

For example mayoral candidate from "Rule of Law" party Armen Yeritsyan promised to clean Yerevan's Komaygi park from guys, who have changed their sexual orientation, illuminate the park and put there cameras, even promised to immediately put on Youtube what is happening there. Yes, this is the only and the primary task of Yerevan!

Incumbent Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan also conducts his election campaign and promises even better Yerevan. You would think that we live in a good Yerevan during the reign of the Mayor, who is limited to the city center.

With regard to such problems, real problems of Yerevan are being left without solution, the issues that need urgent decision.

For example, how scavenging is held in the outskirts of Yerevan. The following video is only one frame of scavenging in Shengavit administrative district. Of course, it's not the only problem of the outskirts of Yerevan, but it's one of them. The video shows how people pick up litter above their heads and throw into the garbage truck, which comes once a week. In summer such a stench spreads that it is just hard to breathe, let alone about the unsanitary conditions. What does it mean to show in online mode guys, who have changed their orientation, when there are no basic living conditions in the city, and the incumbent Mayor either ignores these problems, or does not know about these problems, or is engaged in kickbacks.

This problem should be taken seriously, as not a person or party in power are important, but their activities are important for ordinary citizens.
