FORGETTING TO WIPE THE TRACES

Support A1+!

Candidates are still “campaigning” almost two months after the local government elections with their pictures and slogans.

Based on surveys conducted by “A1+”, citizens of Yerevan are already used to the dirt that lies before and after each election-ripped posters stay on the walls and even the rain isn’t able to wipe the traces.

“It would be better if each candidate put up his poster on special displays, so that it would be easy to take them off after elections and that way the city wouldn’t be polluted,” says Mikayel Iskandaryan.

Citizen Rima Vardanyan says that the candidates show their attitude towards our city by putting up the posters and leaving them up.

Citizens of Yerevan don’t accept the fact that a single candidate puts up 8 or 10 pictures one after another. “Don’t they understand that they are making the walls dirty and wasting money at the same time?” asked Nazik Hasratyan.

Secretary of the Nor-Nork district administration Sergey Khalafyan told “A1+” that they have assigned the communes and candidates to remove all posters that are “out of limit”.

According to Khalafyan, much work has already been done; there are simply posters that have been put up with special glue and it is only possible to take them off by scratching. He expressed hope that there will not be any new posters in Nor-Nork district anytime soon.

The press service of the “Kentron” district informed that there is no certain organization in charge of the cleaning of posters. They have warned the candidate’s headquarters to take them off; however, A1+ reporters have gone around the city and report that nothing has been done.
