YEREVAN, DECEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS. Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan convened a consultation with City Hall officials, namely the urban development and land supervision department and the public order protection service. The Mayor expressed dissatisfaction over the shortcomings of the activities.

“You were all tasked with carrying out a continuous and strict struggle in locating illegal construction sites, suspending and demolishing such structures, and be honest while interacting with citizens: The dishonest step of one employee overshadows the work of all of you. And every one of you was warned, any deviation from the defined principle will be evaluated by me as a serious misconduct, which will definitely have corresponding consequences. The head of department and head of service must in their turn strictly oversee the proper implementation of the defined principles, however regardless the volume of implemented works, I assess the result as insufficient. 15 employees have already been fired during this year, because they abused our, and the citizens’ trust. Violators of the defined principles should definitely be dismissed from duty, there can’t be a second opinion here. But only dismissal isn’t a solution to the problem. Design such supervision preventive mechanisms, which will maximally rule out corruption risks. I expect such solutions in a short period of time, which will eradicate all present problems”, Taron Margaryan said.
