be completely dismantled in the cold season.

Khachatur Abovian (19-th century Armenian author), Brazil Square near
Hrazdan stadium will be improved. The municipality will also implement
Old Yerevan, Noah's Land and Art Village projects near Atenk street.
According to Sarkisian, the Circus building will undergo a complete
