The apartment buildings built on Tumanyan and Azatamartikneri streets
in Stepanakert over the past few years comply with seismic regulations,
said the deputy director of the Eastern Service of Seismic Protection
Arkady Grigoryan in an interview with Karabakh-Open.com. He also
noted that the Business Center which is being built not far from
the foreign ministry, as well as the nine-story building on Tumanyan
and the houses for army officers near the military registration and
enlistment office in Stepanakert.

Arkady Grigoryan says the conclusion is made after a corresponding
checking.

In answer to the question if there were any breaches and if so, what
action is taken, Arkady Grigoryan said seismic regulations were ignored
in the construction of the house of the National Assembly. According
to the project, there was to be a dome weighing 100 tons which was
a breach of seismic regulations. After the conclusion of the service
the dome was replaced by a lighter one.

Arkady Grigoryan also told about the apartment building for officers in
Martuni. The building did not comply with the regulations. Currently
a new project is being worked out, which takes into consideration
the requirements of seismic protection.

The deputy director thinks that construction projects must be studied
by the seismic service. According to him, last year the service
received 55 requests for conclusion on reconstruction projects from
citizens last year.
