YEREVAN. – The Ijevan Hotel, which is located nearby the Municipality
building of Armenia’s Ijevan city, has been left to its fate already
for fifteen years. The nine-storey Hotel, which used to be the city’s
symbol, does not function for a long time. It is in dilapidated and
deteriorated condition, Aravot daily writes.

`IjevanMunicipality informed that the Hotel’s building was privatized
to Eduard Avetisyan on February 5, 2007. [But] The Municipality
employees do not know this person, and they believe he is not an
Ijevan resident.

The Municipality was unable to inform whether or not Avetisyan has a
property tax debt because he has not submitted tax reports.

Ijevan Mayor Vardan Ghalumyan said the Hotel building’s basement is
inundated with water accumulated as a result of a water pipeline
accident. The building’s foundation has become dilapidated, [and] one
day it could collapse onto the Municipality building,’ Aravot writes.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
