The turning of the Republic Square into a business-centre is
inadmissible, the head of the association "For stable development",
Karine Danielyan, said at today's press-conference.
She said that no wide-scale discussion was held around turning of the
Foreign Ministry's building into a hotel. Moreover, the viewpoint of
several experts which were against the given project, was not taken
into account. She said that the Republic Square is a symbol of the
statehood as several administrative buildings, including the Government
building, are located here, and opening of another hotel may change
the meaning of the square and turn it into a business-centre.
Danielyan was also displeased with opening of a parking under the
square, as no investigation was held on the matter. For his part,
an architect Sashur Kalashyan said he doubts if the exterior of the
building of the Foreign Ministry will be preserved after its turning
into a hotel, as without serious reconstruction it is practically
impossible to turn an administrative building into a hotel.
