PANTHEON IS NOT SOLD?

`We will not allow the sale of any area in the city pantheon except the
court building’, said the municipality urban development and architecture
administration chief architect Samvel Danielyan during the usual briefing.
According to him, the Komitas Park was to be reconstructed 2 years ago by
the project of architect Stepan Qyurqchyan, but because of the death of the
architect the project will be realized by his daughter and granddaughter.

The speaker also referred to the problems if the urban development sphere,
particularly the historical monuments if the North and Main Avenues.
Whatever is possible to transport, will be gathered in one place. As for the
Arami str. 62 and Abovyan ¼ buildings, Samvel Danielyan claims that they
will be enhanced or at least deconstructed and rebuilt in the same way.

During one month the municipality will put to discussion the problem of the
areas of Kond, Grigor Lusavorich Church, and Chemical plant. Samvel
Danielyan also referred to the half buildings, particularly to the hotel
`Sevan’. He said that if the construction of the hotel does not restart in a
month, the building will be wholly deconstructed as it does not correspond
to the demands of the modern architecture.
