CONSTRUCTION OF NEW DEFENSE MINISTRY BUILDING TO START IN MARCH

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 4, ARMENPRESS: A senior official of the Armenian
defense ministry told Armenpress that the construction of new
premises for the ministry will kick off in March. Colonel Armen
Sarkisian, head of a department supervising construction and utility
affairs, said the new building will be located at Yerevan Jrvezh
borough in the outskirts of Yerevan.
He said a Russian Ingeokom-Yerevan company was chosen as a
sub-contractor. The official said no budget money will be spent on
the building’s construction, adding that the money will be donated by
Armenians who are in the constituent board of Ingeokom. Sarkisian
said the deal was due to defense minister Serzh Sarkisian’s personal
connections with these people.
