Former chief architect of Yerevan Narek Sargsyan thinks that in the
construction sphere it is high time for harsh restrictions. "Today
when we have no problem in the investment field and there are many
investors, we can introduce restrictions. 5-6 years ago there were
no investors. Today we don’t have that problem.
This means that the restrictions must be made stricter", he says.
He is also sure that Yerevan has become the capital of all the
Armenians. "The Diaspora considers Yerevan its capital. In about
25 years Yerevan and its nearby territory will become the greatest
megapolis in the region".
When the journalist of "A1+" mentioned that there are more people
leaving the country than immigrating, Narek Sargsyan said, "Armenians
living in Moscow and the USA buy houses in Yerevan, especially in
the North Avenue. Even if they don’t live there now, they will return
within 20-25 years".
