ALL PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH YEREVAN SHOULD BE SOLVED
WITHIN FRAMEWORK OF LAW, SAYS YERVAND ZAKHARIAN

YEREVAN, JULY 31, NOYAN TAPAN. All the problems connected with Yerevan
should be solved within the framework of law. Yervand Zakharian,
mayor of Yerevan, expressed such an opinion at the July 31 press
conference. In his words, two draft laws "On Yerevan" have been put
into circulation, one of which suggests making the present outskirts
of the capital separate small cities.

Formerly, the extension of the borders of Yerevan, in Y.Zakharian’s
words, was justified with the increase of number of the
population. However, as the mayor said, the "junction" of some
territories to the city was not right. He also mentioned that at
present the necessity of changing the governing system of the city
exists, and today the possibility of selecting that system is given.

It should be mentioned that the corresponding commission formed
under the guidance of Hovik Abrahamian, RA minister of territorial
government, will clarify its approaches around this issue until
October.
