The construction of the building, which was undergoing at Khanjan
street 20 in Yerevan and collapsed today, was illegal, press-secretary
of Yerevan mayor's office, Artur Gevorkyan, told Arminfo correspondent.
He said that an outdoor cafe and an entertainment center were being
built there. The permission for construction was delivered on 23
December 2009 and its terms were extended till 17 March 2011. He also
added that the mayor's office had reported that the construction was
not finished within the specified period. A report was prepared on
these grounds and a fine 2 mln drams was imposed. The construction
stopped. Subsequently, the constructor had to apply to the mayor's
office and get a permit to resume the construction work, but he did
not do that. So at present, he did not have a permit to carry out
the construction work, Gevorgyan said.
To note, a semi-constructed building collapsed on Thursday morning in
Yerevan. The Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) received a call at
1:10pm informing that firemen and rescuers were needed. Subsequently,
the firemen and rescuers were dispatched to the scene, MES informed.
