Explosion broke out on the construction site of the Covered Market
in Yerevan overnight, a Yerevan-based daily Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
The paper writes that the explosion might be connected with
construction and demolition process. "They dig a huge hole there and
there could be need for explosion as well," the paper writes. In
the meanwhile the joint commission set up by the Municipality of
Yerevan and the Culture Ministry has given a resolution on the partial
demolition of the Covered Market's arch roof on May 27. Late in the
evening on May 27 the major arcs and related structures of the covered
market collapsed following demolition of some inter-storey coverage.
Although the construction was suspended, liquidation of debris has
even deteriorated the situation.
To note, the Covered Market is included in the list of the historical
monuments of Yerevan. It was built in 1952 by Armenian architect
Grigory Aghababyan's project and has been considered one of the symbols
of the Armenian capital since then. Earlier the mass media reported
that Armenian MP Samvel Alexanyan had bought the Covered Market from
the Leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan and was going
to turn it into a Yerevan City supermarket.
