With the aim of restoration of memorial buildings in Yerevan, the latter were inventoried in teamwork with the Ministry of ESCS. During the regular working meeting it was reported that about 50 memorial buildings which are in private ownership were enlisted. These buildings need restoration, and by the decision of the Council of Elders made in 2023, the owners were notified.
Mayor Avinyan expressed confidence in rapid solution of the problem related to memorial buildings in Yerevan. There are already restoration designs for the buildings approved by the ESCS Ministry, and the city authorities intend to keep these projects at special focus.
