Samvel Beglaryan. `Yerevan is not Yerevan'
September 14 2013
We asked Samvel Baglaryan, President of Tavush Regional Division of
the Writers' Union of Armenia, Chief of Noyemberyan Territorian Agency
of Social Service, about distortion of Yerevan Indoor market building
of cultural monument by NA MP Samvel Alexanyan and about the riots of
civilian activists against it. He said,- `If I were in Yerevan, I
would definitely stand next to the protesters ... Why are they
protesting for they demand justice, it is not a protest, they demand
justice. I totally do not discredit, to whom they give it, to Samvel
or Lfik, these names have zero meaning for me. The important thing is
that they gives a historical value, one of the wonderful pages of
history. They are giving this. The important thing is that Yerevan
very intensely, very quickly has started to lose its face. Yerevan in
not Yerevan. Didn't you see that the so-called North Avenue is not
decent to Yerevan, it didn't work. North, south or something else, it
didn't become Yerevan, it does not fit Yerevan. I'm an architect,
first, I do not like this style of architecture, I like the national,
secondly, good or bad, at least it is not of Yerevan, it does not fit
Yerevan, it does not coalesce. In every corner of the world, on seeing
the picture of the market, its marvelous metal ornaments, facade, I
was already feeling better, it was Armenian. Whatever he want to build
there, they cannot replace.' Voskan SARGSYAN
