ArmInfo. "Even in Soviet times high-ranking officials didn’t dare to
solve the problem of Kond district in Yerevan", Armenian Prime
Minister, Leader of the Republican Party of Armenia, and currently a
presidential candidate, Serzh Sargsyan said at a meeting with the
residents of Kentron community of Yerevan, Saturday.
According to him, at the moment all the residents of Kond district are
pleased with the fact that Kond is acquiring a new appearance and
becoming one of the best districts of Yerevan. "Certainly, there are
also displeased people, who built their houses after 2001 and are still
building, which is illogical and inadmissible", Sargsyan said. He also
stressed that the tasks of Yerevan should always be in the focus of the
Armenian president’s attention. Touching upon the draft law "On
Yerevan" under which the mayor of Yerevan is to be elected, Sargsyan
noted: "This draft law was approved by the National Assembly in the
first reading and will be adopted in the final reading during the
spring session". Sargsyan thinks that a rough mistake was made at the
beginning of the state’s establishment – Yerevan was divided into
communities. "The elected mayor should unambiguously belong to or
supported by some party", the prime minister said.
