At a press conference today, RA Meritorious Architect Sashour
Kalashyan lambasted the Yerevan municipality’s design proposal for
Republic Square as ill-conceived and one that would not solve any
existing issues.

Kalashyan also refuted claims made by Yerevan Chief Architect Narek
Sargsyan that the plan, including underground parking, had been
discussed on numerous occasions.

Kalashyan stated that the plan had only been discussed twice by the
Municipality’s 15 member Architectural Committee of which he is a
member as well.
