Town planning in Yerevan has been destroying cultural and historical
monuments and damaging environment throughout the country's
independence, Karine Danielyan, Head of the Association for Sustainable
Development, told ArmInfo.
"In Soviet time, when we were fighting for national identity, the
city was in a better situation than now," she said, "We failed to do
anything to save the Indoor Market. Although to change something in
the building of the market, the decisions of the Ministries of Urban
Development and Culture, and Yerevan Municipality, were required, the
construction activities were launched and completed without relevant
permissions," Danielyan said.
At present, experts are concerned over the old building of Zvartnots
Airport. Recently Armenia- International Airports CJSC has declared
that it will no longer spend money and time to keep the building,
as it "does not meet the modern standards of flight navigation."
"The old building of Zvartnots Airport has been abandoned for several
years, that is why it has occurred in such poor state. I am against
dismantling of the building. It must be preserved as a historical
and cultural value. The Subcommittee of the Public Council for Town
Planning and Architecture shares our views," she said.
