TRAMS WENT AWAY. DOES NOT YEREVAN NEED ECOLOGICALLY CLEAN TRANSPORT?

Armenian authorities sent trams to cemetery two years ago. Today they
disassemble the rails only, the only thing reminding about trams in
Yerevan today. Naturally, if there are no trams they don’t need rails
as well. They will pave the streets especially that they have got
another sum from Kirk Kirkoryan.

It’s amazing how we, or the authorities in particular, treat the
ecology and the air which we breathe. There is no air in Yerevan to
breath, in fact. To notice that we do not need research studies done
by professional centers. It will become more obvious when hot summer
starts.

There is nothing else to expect after the trees were cut in parks and
little forests in Nork, Zeitun and other places. To have a more
complete picture, they had to eliminate trams too. They brought
excuses that trams were outmoded and were not cost effective. Instead
of trying to modernize them, the decided to get rid of
them. /Panorama.am/
