According to chief architect of Yerevan, it was decided to dismantle
the historical monuments in the capital’s center and remove them to
a separate area.

By means of this “arrangement” that part of the city will bear the
image of Old Yerevan, including the museums and exhibition halls. Some
of the historical monuments will remain in their old places, undergoing
some changes.

Recently, the issue of Kond (a historic district), as well as the
Firdousi Street and the neighboring area of St. Gregory the Illuminator
Church were discussed at Yerevan Municipality. It was decided to build
various two-five storied buildings in Kond. While Firdousi Street
will become a multi-functional center of underground and elevated
entertainment places. It is also envisaged to built dwelling houses
in this area.
