Sashur Qalashyan: Possible to upgrade and operate the round complex of Zvartnots

“Our aim is to maintain the round building of Zvartnots airport no matter how, be it a separate airport, or attached to the current one, or even if there is no airport,” said Honoured Architect of Armenia Sashur Qalashyan during a press conference.

He noted that the airport is a structure that needs to be constantly renovated. The architect didn’t rule out the fact that some changes may be introduced, yet the round complex will have the potential to serve as an airport.
According to Qalashyan, Armproject is ready to provide all necessary archival materials during professional discussions, yet the architects were never able to meet the concessionaire.

Chairman of the Executive Committee of National Aviation Association, Grigori Vardanyan said that the round building just needs to be adapted to the new requirements to keep operating.

Architect Anahit Tarkhanyan presented her project on Zvartnots airport renovation, which will allow maintain the building as an independent airport. According to her, to implement this project $ 25 – 30 will be needed, times less than for the concessionaire’s project.
To remind, earlier Armenian government approved a master plan for Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport permitting the demolition of the old round building of the airport within the reconstruction plan.
