For shame! But where are those responsible?

“For shame! It is an important facility, which is the center of
public attention. 700 million AMD was allocated from the state budget,
the work has not been completed so far, and it turns out that the
state will have to allocate additional funds,” Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan said at the government session today. The matter concerned
repairs of the National Library’s building.

The major repairs began in 2008 and ended in December 2011. About 690
million AMD has been spent.
It is noteworthy that it was planned to improve the building’s seismic
resistance, but the work has not been done.
Minister of Urbane Development Samvel Tadevosyan said at the session
that the main work was done in the wrong order, with preference being
given to the interior decoration.

Other shortcomings during the repair work are related to the
building’s heating and air-conditioning systems: the money allocated
for air-conditioning has been spent on other works, while the heating
system has not been put into operation up to now.

«Most of the work carried out in 2008-2011 shall be done again. The
reinforcement of the building is also necessary, » the minister said.

The minister’s explanations made Tigran Sargsyan even more enraged.
«If such audacious and shameful things were done during repairs of
this important building, it is not hard to imagine what kind of
violations will be revealed in other facilities. You must start the
work immediately and urgently file these materials to law enforcement
agencies».
