YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 5, NOYAN TAPAN. 208 protocols on unauthorized constructions were made up in June-October of current year in Yerevan, which exceeds the index of the previous year's same period 2.1-fold. As Kamo Areyan, the Deputy Mayor of Yerevan, said at the November 5 press conference, 108 constructions were pulled down, 198 cases of administrative examinations were filed, 12m drams (nearly 36.4 thousand USD) was transferred to the RA state budget from the fines imposed. At the same time, the Deputy Mayor said that though cases of illegal land seizure have reduced in Yerevan, cases of doing construction work on already existing unauthorized constructions have grown instead. According to him, in order to fight them, the Mayor's Office holds daily checkings in different communities with the proper bodies. Seven protocols have been made up on their basis, one of which regarded an attempt to seize land. K.

Areyan also said that by Yerevan Mayor Yervand Zakharian's decision, certificates of property ownership have been already given to 151 families in the 33rd district of Yerevan.
