ArmInfo.Yerevan Municipality lost in court to Armenian businessman Samvel Aleksanyan regarding the construction of his building on the municipal territory, Mayor Hrachya Sargsyan told reporters on June 3.
"The court ordered the Yerevan Municipality to legalize the construction," he said.
As Sargsyan explained, the city administration lost the case in all court instances and was forced to legalize the building.
It should be recalled that in September 2020, former MP, businessman Samvel Aleksanyan filed a lawsuit against the Yerevan Municipality because of the decision taken by Mayor Hayk Marutyan. The businessman applied to the Administrative Court with a demand to invalidate the decision No. 2898-A adopted on September 16, 2020 by the Mayor of Yerevan.
According to this decision, Samvel Aleksanyan carried out the construction (in 2015) of illegal buildings- constructions on a land plot owned by the state, at the address of Shrjanain St 102/4, Malatia-Sebastia administrative district, in connection with which administrative proceedings were initiated at the mayor's office. Thus, Yerevan Mayor Hayk Marutyan decided not to legalize the unauthorized buildings and structures at the specified address. In addition, he instructed the head of the Malatia-Sebastia administrative region, with the support of the Department of Urban Planning and Land Control and the public order service, to dismantle these unauthorized buildings and free the state-owned land from illegal possession.
