On July 1, 2003, by the decision of R.N., the Mayor of Yerevan, the land parcel located at 78/3 Azatamartik street was expropriated to the citizen M.P., at lower price than the market value - 14 million 646 thousand 180 AMD, in case that the plot was included in the list of restrictions (land not subject to alienation) of Article 60 of the Land Code.
In the prosecutor's office of Kentron and Nork Marash administrative districts of Yerevan, within the framework of the function of initiating a lawsuit for the protection of state (community) interests, the expropriation process of the building located at 78/3 Azatamartik street was examined. As a result of the examination, it was found that according to the Yerevan Mayor’s decision of July 1, 2003, based on the results of the auction sale and lease tender held on June 27, 2003, the land located at 78/3 Azatamartik street was leased to M.P., a citizen on December 26, 2003, to build a children's playground and cafe with outdoor seating. The land parcel is located within the territory of Erebuni Children's Park, and by the Government’s decision of December 15, 2005, it was included in the list of restrictions (land not subject to expropriation) of Article 60 of the Land Code.
On January 17, 2008, K.D., the Deputy Mayor of Yerevan provided an obviously false conclusion, according thereto the land parcel, located at 78/3 Azatamartiner street is not included in the list of restrictions of Article 60 of the Land Code. Based on the conclusion, competent officials of the territorial division of the Cadastre Committee assigned M.P. a certificate of real estate ownership registration. Later, the land located at 78/3 Azatamartiner street was registered as a donation in the name of Sh.A, the wife of M.S., the former Head of the Erebuni administrative district, former Deputy of the National Assembly. Sh.A. has alienated the aforementioned land not subject to alienation to a legal entity for 150 thousand USD.
According to the criminal proceedings being investigated in the Third Investigative Department of the Yerevan city of Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative districts of the Investigative Committee, the fact of abuse of official authorities by K.D., the Deputy Mayor of Yerevan was justified. On December 27, 2021, a decision was adopted on non-initiating prosecution against K.D., on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired.
On June 6, 2023, the Prosecutor's Office of Kentron and Nork Marash administrative districts, within the framework of the authority to initiate a lawsuit for the protection of state (community) interests, submitted a lawsuit to the Administrative Court to eliminate Yerevan Mayor’s decision of July 1, 2003, as well as its consequences.
