On June 1, Children’s Day, the kids took the colored chalk they were given and started drawing pictures and words on the asphalt that now serves as their playground.
Residents of 106 Nalbandyan Street in Yerevan will stage a demonstration at the site on June 2 at noon to protest ongoing illegal construction of a luxury residential building in their backyard.
Residents are opposed to the construction of a high-rise residential building in their backyard. The municipality has stated that it will not allow a 16 story building at the site.
The site, on Nalbandian Street, once housed a kindergarten that was demolished last year. A construction company has taken over the site and plans to build a luxury residential building.
Bulldozers and excavators started to dig at the spot where just the other day neighbourhood children had staged a mini-protest against the destruction of their backyard.
A group of local environmental activists will be staging a protest action tomorrow at noon in the courtyard of 106 Nalbandyan Street in Yerevan to save trees at the disputed construction site.
