Yerevan's chief architect, Narek Sarsgyan, believes that the criticism
directed against him is intentional.
"There's an aspect of clearing personal accounts here. At one time
I proposed Northern Avenue - the Union of Architects was against
it. I suggested to tear down the National Assembly gates and turn
the grounds into a public park - again, the same union opposed it,"
he said, adding that it would be interesting to hear the Union of
Architects' position. "Not to build [anything] in Yerevan; not to
lay stone upon stone."
Sargsyan believes the Union is coming out against him this way
because he left the organization - because he believed it doesn't
have a principled position.
As for the Facebook group created against him, Yerevan's chief
architect said there is only one youth actively campaigning against
him and the existence of 2,000 people in the group is fake.
"I'm a professional architect, with white gloves, and I have made a
great contribution in building the city of Yerevan. They can say it
as much as they want: Yerevan is not the Yerevan of 10 years ago,"
said Sargsyan.
