dated January 25 to head of RA government administration David
Sargsyan, calling to preserve the open-air hall as a cultural monument

decided to remove the hall from the list of architectural monuments
protected by the state and gave consent to the proposal of the Moscow
Cinema LLC on alienation of the territory in favor of the Armenian
Apostolic Church, granting the ownership right to build a new church
similar to that of Poghos-Petros which was destroyed during the Soviet
era.
Over 25 thousand people signed a letter to President Serzh Sargsyan
calling on him to repeal the governmental decision.
After the letter's publication Prime Minister's Adviser Aram Ananyan
informed that the government is planning public hearings on the issue
of pulling down Moscow cinema open-air hall.
