The architect Levon Igityan and literary critic Vardan Devrikyan had
a dispute over Yerevan’s aesthetic aspect and social problems.
According to Devrikyan, the Yerevan mayor’s decisions on removal of
stalls, higher Underground fares and transfer of inter-city transport
stops create conditions for a social revolution. “It is a time bomb.
And we will feel the results this winter. The decisions have not
‘beautified’ Yerevan, but have increased people’s suffering,”
Devrikyan said.
The decisions also feed emigration. Emigrants are mostly from the
families that provide army recruits.
“All the countries have passed this painful way,” Levon Igityan
responded.
