With the realization of this project ordered by the Municipality of Yerevan we solve the problem of green areas expansion, and refreshment as well as the problem of the gardens neglected for a long time. In fact, this is the consistent realization of the pre-election programs of Mayor Taron Margaryan which are gradually called into life. It should be noted that we have fixed certain growth in this regard, thus it becomes possible to include additional areas which haven't been provided for in the improvement programs of the following years., which will also be directed at the development of the capital'', stressed Sirekan Ohanyan.
The director of ''Yerevanproject'' CJSC noted that the reconstruction of the children's park after Kirov had already started. The process is implemented by means of private investments, by the leaser, and that is a contractual obligation. As a result of this program this recreation zone will look in a new way and be provided with all the conditions necessary for full recreation.''As a result of the complex project, keeping all the components of improvement we set a task to modernize the children's attractions, the system of irrigation which will make it possible to refresh the lawns. The constructions existing and operating at the present in the park will also be updated with new architectural solutions'', said Sirekan Ohanyan.

Referring to the improvement projects of the recreation zones of Main avenue in the segment of Vernisage and Malibu cafe Sirekan Ohanyan said that the reconstruction of the mentioned parks is also a necessity. ''This recreation zones being constructed in the 1970s in the areas adjacent to Saryan-Mashtots and Nalbandyan-Hanrapetutyan streets have lost their significance. Within the frames of the improvement program a complex approach is to be shown so as the gardens will look as charming as they used to do. It should be noted that the previous design and green areas of the park will be preserved. The existing fountain basins are to be updated, the number of lawns is to be increased, sorts of trees corresponding to the climate of Yerevan are to be planted. I can as'sure you that as a result these areas will become more well-arranged and landscaped providing a new convenient environment'', stressed Sirekan Ohanyan.
The program o reconstruction of the park adjacent to the Pantheon after Komitas is to be finished in the current year. In this area making up about 7 heactares comfortable conditions will be created as well. The external lighting and irrigation systems will be updated. This area which doesn't look well-arranged today, will be completely reconstructed becoming a recreation zone of the city significance.

This project to be implemented within the scope of the Friendship treaty signed between the municipalities of Yerevan and Stepanakert, is actually a present of Yerevan to the residents and guests of Stepanakert. As a result of the reconstruction project the park of Azatsmartiks located in the center of the capital of the NKR will get a completely new look.

According to the reporter, besides the recreation zones particular importance is attached in the programs of Yerevan development to the construction of the new bypass roads which are aimed at the traffic relief in the center of the capital. ''The construction of the new road connecting Isakov and Arshaknyants avenues is one of similar projects. In fact, this road will become a logical continuation of the motorway connecting Leningradyan street to Isakov avenue'', said the director of ''Yerevanproject'' CJSC.
