The Municipality of Yerevan has responded to the scandal around the
Closed Market. To recall, today a new alarm was received: a
construction company repairing the Yerevan closed market has begun to
demolish its dome-like arch.
The press service of the Municipality of Yerevan reported that the
situation was studied on the spot by the instruction of Yerevan Mayor
Taron Margaryan. It has been found out that the owner of the market
started replacing the wood cover of the roof without the relevant
permit. A protocol has been drafted under Article 154 of the Armenian
Law "On Administrative Violations". The work is suspended, and the
territory is under strict control.
The Closed Market is included in the list of the historical monuments
of Yerevan. It was built in 1952 on the project of the national
architect of Armenia Grigory Aghababyan. Since then it has been
considered one of the city's symbols. Earlier Mass Media reported
that the closed market was acquired by Armenian parliamentarian Samvel
Aleksanyan from Gagik Tsarukyan, Leader of Prosperous Armenia Party.
The market is to be transformed into a Yerevan City supermarket.
