Chairman of the Union of Architects of Armenia Mkrtich Minasyan today dismissed the reports that the old passenger terminal of “Zvartnots" airport is under the threat of demolition. Talking to reporters on Monday, Mr Minasyan said the building simply needs to be adjusted to modern conditions. “We need to maintain the building and fortify it. We cannot neglect the old complex of the airport,’ he stressed. Mkrtich Minasyan said over $10 million are needed for the repair of the building. The Public Council suggests that the entire building should be maintained and repaired and offers to consult with architects to find the best solution. “It is suprising that they are demolishing part of the building and repairing the other wing. If the authorities do not care about the problem, investors will not be interested in the preservation of the building either. It seems that it is difficult for our government to maintain and fortify buildings: for them it is much easier to demolish them and build new ones instead,” he added.
