Head of Inzhener-Yerkraban (Engineer-Geologist) LLC, Candidate of
Geological and Mineralogical Sciences Rouben Yadoyan forecasts
re-occurrence of Riga's tragedy in Yerevan. To recall, on November 21
the collapse of the roof of Maxima supermarket in Riga, Latvia, killed
54 people and injured dozens.
"We can experience the same situation in the center of Yerevan right
now", he says to ArmInfo's correspondent. He points out that three
water levels were connected during the construction of the Yerevan
Metro. Any section from the right bank of the River Getar to Ghukasyan
Street may collapse today.
He says that Northern Avenue is also in that zone. "There are huge
buildings in that zone. I have applied to the Municipality, to the
President and to the Government. I have repeatedly said that the
situation is very dangerous", he says.
Earlier Karine Danielyan, Head of the Association For Sustainable
Human Development, said that the subsoil of Yerevan is not "adjusted"
to the new buildings. "Geologists have warned that one should not
build such huge structures in Northern Avenue. But the greed for gain
is our heel of Achilles, which is stronger than all the other
arguments", said Danielyan.
