    AFTER DESTRUCTION?

    Despite the government's decision on demolishing the open-air hall of
    "Moscow" cinema, RA Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan says there
    must be public discourse.

    "People have to sit together and either one side has to convince
    the other or the opposite and they have to come to terms. There are
    different approaches, viewpoints and we respect that," the Minister
    of Culture told "A1+".

    Are you for or against the demolition of the open-air hall? In
    response, Poghosyan said: "You know, we have discussed our opinion for
    a long time because my opinion is the government's opinion. Removing
    the building from the list of historical monuments doesn't mean that
    it will be demolished and something else will be built in its place."

    Hasmik Poghosyan still believes that all views must be expressed in a
    format, "within the framework of our interests of citizens of Yerevan
    and the Armenian nation".

    By the government's decision, the area near the open-air hall of the
    cinema has been alienated to the Mother See of Holy Echmiadzin with
    the purpose of building a new church in the place of the St.

    Poghos-Petros Church which was destroyed by the Soviet authorities.
