Yerevan chief architect Narek Sargsyan, speaking to reporters today, outlined the urban projects planned in the Armenian capital in the coming three years.
Sargsyan listed the square adjacent to the Khachatur Abovyan statue and Brazil Square (next to Hrazdan stadium) as being in the work for construction. Other plans include implementing the “Old Yerevan” program, building a hotel next to the Republic Square metro station, developing Melik-Adamyan St., as well as reconstructing the squares adjacent to the circus and the train station.
Furthermore, the chief architect noted that a new urban council with new regulations and structure will be established, as well as the development of a concept of construction regulations for Republic Square.
Sargsyan also mentioned the building of new museums in the city.
“The Charles Aznavour house-museum will open in Yerevan at the start of October. There are also plans to build a Hrant Matevosyan house-museum,” he said.
The architect also emphasized the importance of building new streets to ease traffic in main thoroughfares in the city. A direct link between Amiryan and Proshyan streets is in the works, as well as joining Aram Khachatryan and Mamikonyants streets, and Saryan St. to Surb Zoravor Church and Ghazar Parpetsi Lane, he said.
