Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan would not agree to renaming streets in the Armenian capital that still bear the names of Soviet-era figures. The proposal to rename these streets was made by the opposition Yelk alliance earlier this month. Margaryan says ‘Yerevan is a growing city and we shall have new streets which will be named after heroes proposed by the Yelk faction.’ Talking to journalists on Wednesday, Taron Margaryan said they would soon start discussions and consider the proposal but he personally prefers ‘not to touch the history.’
