YEREVAN, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS: The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund
has announced the launch of a project designed to rehabilitate a
public park in downtown Yerevan, known as Pushkin Park, which is
located across the street in front of the presidential residence. The
rehabilitation project is funded by Albert Poghosian, who is a member
of the Fund's Board of Trustees and also head of Robert Poghosian &
Sons Foundation.
The Hayastan Fund said the rehabilitation design was prepared by a
Swiss park architect Pierre Rabach.
The Fund described him as a 'man with extensive experience in
rehabilitating and remodeling public parks across Europe." The
rehabilitation design was approved also by Yerevan municipality.
Pushkin Park was last repaired in 1990. Its overall space is
about 16,500 square meters. The Fund said five tress, estimated by
environmentalists as drying, will be cut. Under this project the park
will have fountains, public toilets, a cafe, a guard post and a pool
for children.
The Fund said the project cost is $600,000. Albert Poghosian has
pledged to cover maintenance of the park after it is rehabilitated.
