LET US FILL THE HOLE TOGETHER!

We are against all the actions which cause ecological disaster in our
city. The greediness of our "elite" is beyond measure. The construction
business has purposefully destroyed the green areas and the historical
and cultural monuments of the city for the latest decade, turning it
into an asphalt-concrete desert.

Yerevan residents intensely struggle for the green areas near the
houses, yet women and children face the attacks of the police and
other armed forces.

It is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Emergence of a huge foundation pit for construction in Opera garden
by the Swan Lake became culmination of negligence and arbitrariness
toward the ecological and cultural environment and toward public
opinion. After the representatives of the coalition set up a clamor,
the construction seemed to be suspended. However, all the efforts to
find out who embarked upon the construction and what should be built
there were doomed to failure. The authorities even promised to fill
in the foundation pit that "belonged to nobody."

Let us help them.

All interested individuals and organizations are welcome to join
the action by gathering near the pit at the abovementioned date
and time. Please also bring "a handful of soil" with you to fill
the pit. Let it be our contribution in the struggle against illegal
construction business.

The event, followed by a press conference, will bring together
prominent public figures.

Your active participation will determine the future of our city.
