Being turned into an ecological zone of disaster, the city of Yerevan, especially its Center faces a state of emergency, requiring to immediately take appropriate measures. It was mentioned during a press conference held on August 31 by Public Ecological Coalition of 32 NGOs. The speakers were concerned that "since it was out of control, construction business served not as much the interests of the city as the financial interests of a group of tycoons."

Karine Danielyan of the Association for Sustainable Human Development, Silva Adamyan of the Union of Bird Fanciers, Sona Ayvazyan of CRD/TI Armenia and many others addressed participants at the press conference and answered the journalists' questions. The Public Ecological Coalition has sent an open letter to RA President, Chairman of RA National Assembly, RA Prime Minister and RA Ombudsman claiming to suspend the construction in all the areas of Yerevan where the construction work was done in violation of human rights and ecological norms.
