Commission should be set up to study Eurnekian’s plans - architect (video)
Architect Hrachik Poghosyan is angered by public apathy towards the fate of the old tower of Zvartots international airport. The architect was saddened to see that only 20-30 people participated in the Friday protest against the demolition of the old round building. “Wake up, people! They are destroying your property. What do you think to do?” he said. Director of ArmProject Institute Grigor Azizyan says he never approved the idea of solving issues through marches and demonstrations. He says it is better to hold public discussions with clever people ‘who are aware of the problem.’ “We should solve problems with public discussions rather than mass gatherings.” Architect Anahit Tarkhanyan, the daughter of architect Artur Tarkhanyan, one of the authors of the Zvartnots airport design project, was one of the organizers of the Friday protest against the dismantling of the round construction of the airport. She knows why Argentine-Armenian billionaire Eduardo Eurnekian wants to demolish the building, moreover, she see corruption behind the deal. She says a commission should be set up to study Eurnekian’s plans and understand what he wants to build in lieu of the old building.
