“The Mayor Is Coming, Take the Fruit Boxes Inside”

Arabkir before Taron Margaryan’s visit

Today the officials of the Arabkir administrative district were putting the community in order in a fuss – they were cleaning, watering streets, giving instructions to street salesmen to take away their goods for a few hours.

“The mayor is coming,” the community officials would explain to the salesmen. The official responsible for the law and order in the underpass at Barekamutyun (friendship) station was calling on the greengrocers on the stairs of the underpass to take the boxes inside and to clear the stairs. As opposed to conventional days, this morning the underpass was passable and clean too.

Here, particularly in the summer, not only cannot one breathe here because of the lack of air ventilation, but also the goods on the ground, which are beyond the boundaries of pavilions cause inconveniences for pedestrians. What is the aim of the mayor’s round, if the second Taron Margaryan steps away from Arabkir or any other community, everything return to its “previous state”?
