Two years have passed since the devastating fire in the RA Ministry of
Justice but no renewal work has been carried out ever since.

Walking along Vazgen Sargsyan Street you can still see the burnt walls
of the half-ruined building.

Recall that the roof and two upper storeys (3rd and 4th) of the
Armenian Ministry of Justice burned out in Yerevan at 4.44 a.m.,
February 8, 2008. The firemen managed to carry out some equipment but
the damage was grave. The offices of the Minister and his deputies
were completely burned down.

The departments of the building are today located throughout Yerevan.

Under a government decree dated December 11, 2008, a new building will
be erected in the yard of 1 Karavarutyan.

MoJ Spokesperson Lana Mshetyan says the construction works have been
suspended because of the global financial crisis.

According to the police the criminal case has been discontinued and
there are no arrestees.
