Fate of Zvartnots Airport’s round building remains topic of concern
The future of the round building of Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport remains a topic of concern for specialists and architects, but they hope that together with concessioners they will manage to preserve the building, Mkrtich Minasyan, chairman of the Union of Architects of Armenia, told reporters on Wednesday.
“Many discussions were held on this matter. The concessioner also realizes the significance of this building,” he said.
According to Minasyan, the building perhaps does not correspond to modern standards, but it can serve other purposes, just as it is done in other cities.
Mr Minasyan also said that discussions are underway in the Union of Architects and in the near future it will present to the Ministry of Culture a list of cultural and historical monuments that need state protection.
