"STOP DESTRUCTION OF YEREVAN" - DISCUSSION CONCERNING PROBLEMS OF PROTECTION
OF HISTORICAL-CULTURAL HERITAGE OF YEREVAN
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 17. ARMINFO. "Stop the destruction of Yerevan" -
under this motto a discussion was held concerning the problems of the
protection of historical-cultural heritage of the capital of Armenia.
As Doctor of architecture Marieta Gasparian mentioned, year by year
Yerevan loses its historic look and it will soon there will not be a
building which presents a historical value of a some era of life of the
Armenian capital. Wide-scale constructions result in destruction of
the buildings of historical-cultural importance for Armenia. According
to her, the department for protection of historical-cultural monuments
of the Ministry of Culture and Youth Affairs of Armenia has already
formed the list which includes 16 buildings of the main avenue of
Yerevan, in particular, from the streets of Pavstos Byuzand, Arami,
Pushkin and Teryan, liable to dismantle and transfer to another
territory.
As Architect, Academician Varazdat Haroutunian mentioned, the principle
of privatization of the buildings, without pre-condition to keep the
outward appearance of the building, cannot remain unpunished. The
parliament must include this issue in the agenda when adoption of a
relevant law aimed at protection of the city attractive for tourists
from the point of view of its rich historical-cultural heritage.
