ALL YEREVAN STREETS TO HAVE NAMEBOARDS OF NEW PATTERN TILL END OF THIS
YEAR
YEREVAN, August 5 (Noyan Tapan). The names of 160 streets, as well as
gardens, alleys and other units were changed in Yerevan during the
recent 15 years. But there are no boards with names and numbers of
streets not only in the renamed streets, but also in the streets
keeping their old names. It prevents to orient oneself in the city
rightly. Besides, according to Gagik Baghdasarian, Chief of the
Organization and Inspection Department of the Yerevan Mayor’s Office,
the absence of name-boards prevents from the normal work especially
during the elections and census. At the same time, Gagik Baghdasarian
noticed that the new patterns of name-boards, which will be of the
same kind in all the regions, are being elaborated now. He assured
that all Yerevan streets will have the boards of new pattern with
names of streets and numbers of houses till the end of this
year. Though according to the law the name-boards should be in
Armenian, it is possible that they will also include names in English
for tourists’ convenience.
