On July 26 the Public Ecological Coalition organized an action against construction in the Opera garden area by the Arno Babajanyan Statue. More than 100 representatives of NGOs, parties, international organizations and media took part in the event. Besides speeches at the protest, the representatives of the action filled in soil into the foundation pit. All the participants took part in this action under the motto "a handful of soil into your pit" except the policemen observing the event.

The huge foundation pit was dug a couple of months ago. After the representatives of the coalition set up a clamor, the construction seemed to be suspended. However, all the efforts to find out who embarked upon the construction and what was planned to be built there were doomed to failure. In reply to the coalition's request, both Yerevan city and Kentron district municipalities mentioned that the area belonged to no one. The authorities even promised to fill in the pit, which was no one's belonging according to them. In their turn, the representatives of the coalition decided to help the authorities to fill the pit, cover it and then plant greenery.

According to "Aravot" daily (4.08.07) the foundation pit has been filled with soil.
