The construction in the center of Yerevan has found itself in the
focus of the activists' attention again. Concerned with the plans to
erect 2 multi-storey hotels near the Northern Avenue, the civil
initiative "Save Yerevan" demands stopping the construction in the
center of Yerevan.
On April 25 activist Isabella Sargsyan told journalists that the
active construction rates threaten many historical monuments in
Yerevan. For instance, it is planned to erect multi-storey hotels near
the building (in Pushkin-25) designed by architect Tamanyan, and these
hotels will be top-heavy constructions for such narrow streets.
Sargsyan pointed out that Yerevan is losing its historical look due to
such projects. The initiative urges the opposition forces taking part
in the elections to the Yerevan Elders' Council to support their
efforts to save the Armenian capital.
Earlier a number of initiatives expressed their concern with the
construction of a hotel complex near the AOKS building, as well as the
plans to move the Afrikyans' house because of the new road near the
Northern Avenue. Environmentalists say that according to the space
snapshots, Yerevan has lost nearly 70% of green zones owing to the
active construction over the past 20 years.
