YEREVAN, JUNE 4, NOYAN TAPAN. The first step aimed at development of
real estate market in Armenia should be presence of qualified
specialists, which is possible in case of creating the respective
faculties or departments at universities. Expressing such opinion in
his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent, Erik Mesropian, Chairman of
Real Estate Scientific-Information Center, chief expert of Urban
Institute international program’s real estate market, said that Real
Estate Management and Expertise faculty has been functioning at the
Financial Academy since 2004 on the initiative of Accern corporation.
In E. Mesropian’s words, this contributes to training of qualified
