Local news sources are reporting that resistance has grown up against
plans to place a new 50-storey tower in the heart of the Armenian
capital, Yerevan. The issues have allegedly risen due to the proposed
placement of the city's tallest structure, between the Moskva Cinema
House and a building owned by the Union of Artists of Armenia.
The ARKA News Agency quoted Chairman of the Union of Architects of
Armenia, Mkrtich Minasyan as saying: "Regardless of who owns this
plot the construction of a high rise building in that area would
completely destroy the architectural integrity of the centre of
our city. I am also encouraged by the chief architect of Yerevan,
who has so far refrained from assessing the Iranian project, as this
issue needs to be discussed."
