YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: Armenian president Robert Kocharian
praised today the companies that have built the new building of the
Yerevan municipality, saying after a stroll that he was satisfied
with both the quality of the work and the speed with which it was
accomplished.

Speaking to reporters, Kocharian said the municipality staff should
work now more effectively to tackle the citizens’ problems without
red tape and delays. “The idea of one window should be implemented
in the municipality that has to ensure uninterrupted function of
all city services,” the president said, adding that complains that
the municipality does not have good conditions for work will be
unjustified.

The construction of the building was started yet in 1980 but was
suspended after 1991 and resumed only in 2003. The new municipality
building will also house the Yerevan History Museum.

The new five-storey building has a total of 13,500 square meters of
space. It cost is 3.1 billion drams.
