Hetq still hasn’t been able to find out what exactly is being
constructed on a site at 60 Komitas Avenue in Yerevan. According to
a decision adopted by the Yerevan Municipality on April 26, all work
was ordered halted, but local residents say it was been continuing.

At the site, twenty-one trees were stripped of the branches in a heavy
dose of pruning by staff at the nearby CPS gas station. The station,
it appears, is supposed to be moved to the site to make way for a new
Yerevan City supermarket. The chain is owned by MP Samvel Aleksanyan.

After Hetq raised the alarm with the Ministry of the Environment,
the CPS gas station was fined 100,000 AMD ($250) for the illegal
tree pruning. Local residents have reported in that the work goes
on unabated.

Hetq has sent a letter of inquiry to the Yerevan Municipality regarding
the site but as yet we have received no answer.
