Environmental and civic activists who have been coming nearly every day for almost a month to Mashtots Park to protest the construction of shops say they will begin a round-the-clock sit-in in the central Yerevan park.
Recall, the shops were dismantled on Abovyan St. and moved to Mashtots Park where city officials say they will remain for 3 years (till the end of the city’s 10-year contract with shop owners). Activists, however, continue to protest their construction in one of the few remaining green spaces in the downtown core.
On a statement published on their Facebook page, Mashtots Park activists say they give city authorities until Mar. 16 to demolish the partially constructed shops.
