OFFICIAL STATEMENT

In recent days, reports have been circulating on social media and in some mass media outlets claiming that Arsen Avanesyan, a resident of Yashnobod district, was allegedly fined for landscaping the area and planting trees.

As these reports misrepresent the true essence of the situation, we provide an official clarification once again:

During the inspection, it was established that under the guise of the “Yashil Makon” initiative, Arsen Avanesyan illegally occupied a 360 sq. m land plot within a protected area adjacent to the railway. The area was fenced with metal barriers, light structures were installed, and the site began to be used for entrepreneurial activities.

It should be emphasized that any construction works and commercial activities are strictly prohibited in protected areas adjacent to railways. In other cases, registration and permission from the authorized bodies are required.

Following this situation, a court decision was issued, and Arsen Avanesyan was fined in accordance with the установленной procedure. He was also obliged to dismantle the illegally installed metal fences and light structures.

At the same time, it was specifically noted that after the area is cleared of fences and structures, all planted trees and landscaping works carried out will be preserved and no trees will be cut down.

The Tashkent City Administration supports citizens’ initiatives aimed at creating green recreational areas and provides assistance to such initiatives.

**Please note!**

The allocation of vacant land plots is carried out exclusively through the “E-auksion” electronic trading platform. Unauthorized occupation of land plots and construction activities may lead to serious legal and financial consequences.
