Today the ecologists who have been struggling at Mashtots park for months have circulated a letter addressed to the RA president and have attached Armenia’s Constitution to it as a present.
The letter particularly reads: “Dear Mr President, the aim of our fight at Mashtots park was regetting the public territory and public property, restoring legality and the implementation of our constituional rights.
According to the Constitution, the dismantling of the illegal booths of Mashtots park and the elimination of the unlawful acts is exceptionally within the competences of Yerevan’s city hall and the law enforcers. In this sense the president has no competences to give instructions to the municipal authorities.
During your visit to the park on May 1 you didn’t carry out your competences as a guarantor of the RA Consitution not touching upon the rights of the Armenian citizens and the protection of the prevailing interests of the people, the illegalities connected with the booths, the violence exercised by the police during the 80 days of our fight and the non-legitimate actions.
We present the RA Constitution to you as a reminder tha you are its guarantor and you have to be guided exceptionally by supremacy of the Constitution in all your actions”.
To note, today the econlogists also presented Yerevan’s mayor Taron Markaryan with the Constitution.
