Our cultural monuments need constant attention and care, Chairman of
the Armenian Union of Architects Mkrtich Minasyan said on March 23.
He says the relevant authorities do not pay enough attention to
historical and cultural monuments and expresses his displeasure over
their preservation. At the same time, Mr Minasyan advises citizens to
understand the value of our cultural monuments and avoid destroying
and distorting them.
Speaking about the placement of surveillance cameras in the vicinity of
cultural monuments, Mr Minasyan said the issue is under consideration
but people should understand that monuments are of great value and
should not dump garbage there, write on the monument or damage it.
"Cameras can be installed in different places a city but not in open
spaces. We have many beautiful places and we ought to take care of
them," he stressed.
Speaking about the Old Yerevan project, Mkrtich Minasyan said Alexander
Tamanian's master plan for Yerevan should be fully maintained. The 'Old
Yerevan' project includes 30 historical-cultural buildings on Yerevan's
main avenues and Abovyan, Pavstos Byuzand, Eznik Koghbatsi and Arami
Street sections and is expected to be introduced to public in 2015.
