    ADMINISTRATIVE COURT REFUSES TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS ON THE AFRIKYAN BUILDING CASE

    The Administrative Court has refused to initiate proceedings on the
    Afrikyan building case. To recall, the Helsinki Committee of Armenia
    and "Urbanlab Yerevan" NGO applied to the Administrative Court of
    Armenia to declare the Afrikyan building-related decisions of the
    Municipality and the Government invalid.

    Located at 11, Terytan Street, the Afrikyan building is being
    dismantled to be relocated and further be restored within the frames of
    the Old Yerevan project. The activists have held a number of actions
    of protest. They think that other buildings of Yerevan will also have
    the fate of the Afrikyan building.

    Earlier in June, architect Levon Vardanyan, author of the Old Yerevan
    project, said that over the past few years unknown people had stolen
    the cantilevered balconies, stair flights and doors of the building.

    He added that he had applied to the Police but that gave no result.

    The Afrikyan building is a monument of republican importance. In 2004
    the building was sold to a private company by the Municipality. In
    2006 the Government took a decision to dismantle the building and
    change its location.
