Yerevan projected by Tamanyan differs much from present-day Yerevan.
Union of Architects of Armenia Chairman Mkrtich Minasyan told
reporters. According to him, a city changes like an organism.
Formerly, the city changed but Tamanyan's project was kept, while
now the city face is distorted.
"Tamanyan's project intended a city for 450 thousand inhabitants,
it was planted with trees and shrubs, while present-day Yerevan is
a high density city, what is impermissible," Minasyan said.
Director of Alexander Tamanyan House-Museum Alexander Tamanyan also
regretted to say that today's Yerevan has changed much: "City's
ideology has changed, its position facing Mount Ararat is distorted."
Specialists think that we will lose Yerevan if it goes on like this.
