According to local opposition newspaper Haykakan Jamanak ("Armenian
Times"), it's quite likely that a 50-storey building will soon be
built adjacent to Moscow Cinema and Golden Tulip Hotel in Yerevan.
According to news the paper has received, this plan is secretly being
discussed in the corresponding departments at Yerevan City Hall and
several design agencies.
The building, according to the daily, will be called Persia Tower and
it will be a mixed-use development with several floors set aside for
commercial use; others, residential; and more than 10 floors to be
designated as a hotel.
The newspaper's sources in city hall have stated that the Iranian
party in the deal has already taken specific steps in getting the
interest of the necessary officials. Yerevan's chief architect Narek
Sargsyan, through his assistant, conveyed to Haykakan Jamanak that
he is familiar with this project, but he will not comment at this time.
The newspaper concludes that if the chief architect avoids providing
an honest assessment of this project, it means that the possibility
of allowing such a structure in the heart of Yerevan is not ruled out.
