The Iranian Embassy in Armenia yesterday did not refute reports that an
Iranian company intends to build a 50-storey mixed-use building next to
Moscow Cinema in downtown Yerevan. Later, this was confirmed by Yerevan
City Hall, reports local daily Haykakan Jamanak ("Armenian Times").
The opposition paper notes when it tried to get details
from the Iranian Embassy regarding the company as well as the
yet-to-be-constructed tower, the embassy only wanted to know the
newspaper's source for this information.
"You definitely don't know whether an Iranian company is constructing
that building or not; you don't know where you got that information
from and you've called Iran's embassy, wanting to find out the
embassy's position?" was the reply from the embassy's press service,
reports Haykakan Jamanak.
"In response to Haykakan Jamanak's question 'Do you deny that
Iran or any Iranian company has a connection to the building to
be constructed?' the embassy said they will call and speak with the
person in charge of the newspaper, which, however, they haven't done,"
writes the paper.
Recall, Haykakan Jamanak reported on Thursday that the building 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.
