    "CITY POSITION FACING MOUNT ARARAT IS DISTORTED"

    Aysor

    Armenia

    Yerevan projected by Tamanyan differs much from present-day Yerevan.

    Union of Architects of Armenia Chairman Mkrtich Minasyan told
    reporters. According to him, a city changes like an organism.

    Formerly, the city changed but Tamanyan's project was kept, while
    now the city face is distorted.

    "Tamanyan's project intended a city for 450 thousand inhabitants,
    it was planted with trees and shrubs, while present-day Yerevan is
    a high density city, what is impermissible," Minasyan said.

    Director of Alexander Tamanyan House-Museum Alexander Tamanyan also
    regretted to say that today's Yerevan has changed much: "City's
    ideology has changed, its position facing Mount Ararat is distorted."

    Specialists think that we will lose Yerevan if it goes on like this.
