Head of the Armenian Public Chamber Vazgen Manukyan says sale of the
Foreign Ministry building was a political mistake. The building will
turn into a five-star hotel.

Commenting on the given decision at the request of Mass Media,
Manukyan said that the issue must be studied from the political point
of view. It is important for the Foreign Ministry to be located in
a territory having the highest status in Yerevan - the Republican
Square, he said.

"The Foreign Ministry is of more importance for us than for any other
country. Anyway, it is a serious political mistake for a country
having a big Diaspora and an unsettled conflict to sale the building
for commercial purposes," he said.

Earlier on October 4 the Government of Armenia adopted a decision to
sell the above building to Tango CJSC for $41.2 million. The company
belongs to Argentinean businessman Eduardo Eurnekian and registered
in the territory of Zvartnots International Airport.
