Singers joined environmentalists in Mashtots ave
Environmental activists have gathered in Mahstots avenue in Yerevan to continue their week-long protest against the construction of kiosks in the green space. On Friday evening, the RA police issued a report saying that any citizen who would join the group and interfere with the construction would be fined.
A1+'s journalist reports from the ground that more people are joining in the action.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Karen Movsesyan told A1+ that the citizens had not violated any law and were silent.
Yesterday police officers had to form a human barrier to keep the group away from the construction site. Today they have installed a metal fence.
The environmentalists have already expressed their determination to continue the protest as long as they achieved positive results. Today a group of singers and musicians has joined the protesters. Many others are expected to show up later on, activist Arpine Zargaryan told A1+ without giving any names.
The activists today cleaned the area off snow and read aloud Armenian fables "The Wolf and the Fox," "The End of the Evil" and others.
Despite the heavy snowfall in the Armenian capital, construction is proceeding on the site.
