    YEREVAN'S ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTS TO BE RESETTLED INTO ONE AREA

    YEREVAN, JULY 13. ARMINFO. Within a year the Architectural Council of
    Yerevan will make a list of the capital's architectural monuments,
    says Yerevan's chief architect Samvel Daniyelyan.

    There are two categories of monuments: to be preserved on their
    historical location and to be relocated. Daniyelyan says that the
    scattered historical monuments do not reflect the whole color of
    Yerevan and discord with the architectural style of the "new center."

    He says that new the construction of business centers and hotels in
    the center of Yerevan requires new stylistic approaches. It would be
    absurd to build in XXI in the style of XIX, says Daniyelyan.

    And so the municipality has decided to bring together part of
    Yerevan's architectural monuments into a small area covering Aram,
    Buzand and Koghbatsi streets.

    ACCEPT TAMANYAN AND DO THE VICE VERSA

    Today the guest of the National Press Club was the chief architect of
    Yerevan Samvel Danielyan. Asked the first question by the journalists
    what the future of Yerevan will be he said, `New buildings are being
    erected in Yerevan'. Moreover, according to him, `we have several
    areas taken from the Government especially with that aim'.

    These areas, according to him, are those near the Grigor Lusavorich
    Church, the Wine factory and the Kond district.

    The journalists wondered how he evaluated the construction work in the
    capital. `All the normative parameters are preserved', said the chief
    architect. In that case how does it happen that 8-storeyed buildings
    are built in the North Avenue when the head of the Architects' Union
    said they must be not higher than 5 stores? `I cannot comment on his
    words. There have also been offers about 8-storeyed buildings', he
    said.

    According to Mr. Danielyan, firstly the buildings were to be
    8-storeyed. Firstly when? Since Tamanyan's times? In Tamanyan's times,
    according to him, no stores were mentioned.

    Generally, Samvel Danielyan thinks that architecture is the reflection
    of the changes which take place in the society. `New technological
    elements will appear ` 5-star hotels, business centers'. He also
    claimed that all the programs and projects are discussed with the
    Architect's Union, the Urban development Council and even with
    non-governmental organizations.

    It turned out, however, that the head of the Architects' Union said
    there is nothing of the kind, and nothing is discussed with
    them. �The plan of Yerevan has been discussed in the enlarged
    meeting of the Administration�, said the NPC guest.
