    YEREVAN. - The law in Armenia permits the sale of historic monuments,
    but there exists a sales regulation and this regulation being
    violated, Armenia's Distinguished Architect Sashur Kalashyan said
    during a press conference on Thursday.

    `The monuments are different, too. In this case we are dealing with a
    Government building [that is, the Government of Armenia Building
    No.2 - where the country's Foreign Affairs, Energy and Natural
    Resources, and Territorial Administration Ministries currently
    function], which is a part of [capital city Yerevan's] Liberty
    Square,' Kalashyan stated, commenting on the announcement that the
    aforesaid building will be sold to Tango Company, which belongs to
    Argentinean-Armenian businessman Eduardo Eurnekian.

    He stressed that when a decision is to be made with respect to the
    sale of a monument, it is necessary to first hold comprehensive
    discussions, and only after that should a respective decision be made.

    Kalashyan maintained that the decision to turn the aforementioned
    building into a hotel complex should be declared null and void because
    it is a Government building.

    `The building could be kept for holding official meetings, whereas the
    working building could be moved to somewhere else,' the architect
    said.
