A number of residents living in downtown Yerevan have sent an open
letter to several political parties in Armenia, asking for their
assistance in halting construction of a high-rise building in their
backyard.
The site, on Nalbandian Street, once housed a kindergarten that was
demolished last year. A construction company has taken over the site
and plans to build a luxury residential building.
Neighborhood residents claim that the construction is illegal ad that
a planned for underground garage will weaken the seismic strength of
apartment buildings dating back to the 1950s and 1960s that circle
the area.
Residents say that MP's belonging to the Heritage Party and ARF have
raised the issue within the government, but no steps have been taken
to halt construction.
Their letter has been sent to the Free Democrats Party, Prosperous
Armenia, Armenian National Congress, Heritage Party, ARF and Rule
of Law.
