THE PROBLEMS OF YEREVAN TO BE SOLVED FOR THE PEOPLE OF YEREVAN

President SERGE SARGSYAN yesterday visited the Mayor’s Office of Yerevan and conducted a discussion devoted to a number of issues which are of utmost importance for the town.
S. Sargsyan particularly said, “I suggest two principles that will guide us in the course of our work:
First, I have mentioned several times that Yerevan should be a convenient town to live in,
And second, the problems of Yerevan should be resolved to the benefit and not at the expense of its inhabitants.
I attach particular importance to the second point. I want to bring an example and say that despite its tremendous impact and positive results, the construction work of the recent years created some social tension which we could have avoided and ought to have avoided. What I say does not absolutely mean that I underestimate those activities; on the contrary, I set much store by them. I consider that as a result of the construction work, Yerevan acquired a new image and entered a new stage of development. But in any positive accomplishment we should also find the flaws to be able to eliminate them in our future work.
In this regard, I want to bring the example of Kond district, and say that those activities no longer create additional tension. More than one hundred houses have already been realized in Kond, and no response has been made so far. And if there is no response, there is no dissatisfaction either. In such cases we should be guided by the principle of offering an inhabitant an apartment in the same territory. This is also in the interests of the party responsible for property realization.
It's quite a different matter that the inhabitant himself does not want it. In this case, it is necessary to offer him a transaction at market prices.
I want to remind you that 10-12 years ago there could hardly be anyone in Yerevan who could think that the issue of transportation might become one of the greatest problems of the town. The fact that a few years ago the Mayor’s office of Yerevan started to look for some solutions to the transportation problem is really a praiseworthy step. But on the other hand, those steps are not enough for the total solution of the problem. In the period of carrying out the construction work and realizing the land areas, we ought to have envisaged certain territories for the construction of parking stations.
In the opinion of the specialists, the reason of the traffic jams and inconvenience is not the fact that the central streets of Yerevan are not envisaged for so many vehicles or they are narrow; the main obstacle is the parking of a great number of vehicles in prohibited and unauthorized areas. We should find some solutions for moving those vehicles to a more convenient place.”
