The destruction of Yerevan's green areas along with illegal construction has gotten well out of hand. It's about time everybody took a stand on this issue so yes, the action was positive in that it brought different people -- locals, foreign and Diasporan -- together.

I am ready to pass you the video tape with complete TV footage of the SOS Yerevan movement. Hopefully, we will get more TV coverage for our next actions. :) Anyway, I am very thankful to those participating and writing about this struggle.

I'll take your word for it, however, as I don't watch television in Armenia. Just remember Shant TV being there for 5 minutes and can't remember anyone else. I was probably too busy filming. However, I can't remember any film crews at the Opera House / Liberty Square. Only a few minutes being shot earlier. Anyway, glad to hear that some coverage was aired. However, where were the two main channels -- H1 and Armenia TV? That's not good at all.

I would like to pay your attention at another correction. Two local TV channels covered the protests meeting October 29, the same day – "Yerekir Media TV" and "Shant TV". Their reporting was very detailed, mainly targeted to raise public awareness of the issue instead of focusing on the certain officials and other well-known people showed up at the event. Both materials were bright, with imaging shots and interviews taken from the SOS Yerevan coalition members, participating artists, and attended population. SOS Yerevan is doing great job! Dear Onnik,

There was no single organizer except SOS Yerevan Coalition. The key participants this include many of the same organziations that had success in the SOS Shikahogh campaign--not just our organization (Armenian Forests NGO), but Armenia Tree Project, WWF Caucasus, Transparency International, Association for Sustainable Human Development, AUA ECRC (Environmental Conservation and Research Center), Center for Bird Lovers, the Chamber Music hall, and more than a dozen others. I also want to point out that, although we never would have believed it would happen so soon, we already have had some success with our first target; they began tearing down at least the portions of the cafe being constructed nearby the Komitas Chamber Music hall (Kamarayin). They were tearing up the pavement they had just put down and the crane nearby the starting point of the rally on Saturday was there to REMOVE the skeleton of the roof they had just built the week before.
