The newly-appointed Chief Architect of Yerevan, Tigran Barseghian, told
the correspondent of ‘Haykakan Zhamanak’ daily that the construction
changes to the Closed Market in downtown Yerevan are a ‘national
disgrace’. “It is not my own opinion, but nation-wide one,” he noted.
For his part, Chairman of the Union of Architects of Armenia Mkrtych
Minasian said that a cultural monument has been lost because “more
than half of the interior has been damaged”. “We have lost a big
multipurpose hall,” he said.
The former Chief Architect of Yerevan Narek Sargsyan and the Ministry
of Urban Development refused to make comments.
