YEREVAN.- A 50-storey building should not be constructed in Yerevan's
center, Armenian architects consider.
Chairman of the Union of Armenian architects Mkrtich Minasyan said that
a sky scraper, planned to be constructed in the heart of Yerevan in the
territory of 2.5 square meters, will distort architectural appearance
of the city. The investor of the project is Itran-based Didas company.
"The territory was first sold to Iranian Mellat bank in 90s and then
sold to one of the Iranian companies," he told journalists on Monday.
According to him, the project must be prevented, not only for reasons
of aesthetics, but also for security of the city.
"Such building would represent a significant seismic hazard,"
Lazarian said.
