You Must Wake Up and Sleep with Photos of Garbage: Council Member to Hayk Marutyan

In the program of the 'My Step' alliance, it was written in large letters that we would involve a second waste collection operator, but you have done nothing in this direction for three months: this was stated today by Ani Samsonyan, a member of the 'Light' faction at the Yerevan City Council.

'You are not responding to my letter on this issue within the deadline. I thought you were delaying it because you were making a monumental decision, but it turns out there is no decision at all. From this, I conclude that you do not know how to solve this problem and are unable to clean the city of waste. My next conclusion is that you do not want to because you are favoring 'Sanitek', which is making some investments but not in the city's sector. Or maybe you are being threatened, blackmailed, or intimidated; share your concerns with us. Perhaps we can help you with this issue.'

Ani Samsonyan called on citizens, urging them to organize a flash mob and send photos of garbage from their Facebook pages to the mayor and other officials. 'You must wake up and sleep with photos of garbage! People will not go to protest in front of 'Sanitek'; they will bring worn out, dirty, and broken bins to block all entrances of the city hall. This will be the result of your three months of work,' said Ani Samsonyan.
