Construction at the Covered Market in Yerevan is continued, Mkrtich

Minasyan, Head of the Union of Architects of Armenia, told media,

Thursday.

 

He recalled that the Ministry of Culture and the Yerevan Municipality

have banned illegal construction in the backyard of the Covered

Market. So, it was to be demolished.

 

"Instead, there is an absurd situation. The construction is continued.

 

A question arises as to whether the owner of the Covered Market reckons

with the opinion of the Municipality and the Ministry," he said.

 

Research and Methodology Council of the Ministry convened on March

6 and studied the issue of the Covered Market. The Council issued an

expert resolution saying that the back walls of the building must be

restored and reinforced and the newly built concrete-construction

must be demolished in line with the project. Afterwards, a project

of the market's restoration must be developed on the basis of a new

resolution on the technical state of the building and submitted to

the Culture Ministry.

 

To note, the Covered Market is included in the list of the historical

monuments of Yerevan. It was built in 1952 by Armenian architect

Grigory Aghababyan's project and has been considered one of the

symbols of the Armenian capital since then. Many think that impunity

for destruction of the Covered market is connected with its owner

Armenian MP Samvel Alexanyan.
