The Public Council of Armenia has positively assessed "Armenia" International Airports CJSC's proposal to preserve the central tower of Zvartnots Airport's old building.
In the meantime, the Public Council stresses the need to fully preserve the appearance of the old building of the airport with due regard for its architectural value.
The Public Council is going to apply to the Armenian Government to involve well-known Armenian architects, as well as the designers and architects of the building, in discussing the fate of the airport's old building.
To note, the concessionaire of Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan - "Armenia" International Airports CJSC - was initially going to demolish the old building of the airport. This sparked public discontent, because the building is one of the symbols of Yerevan. Later the concessionaire suggested preserving only the central part of the building, with the remaining part of the construction to be demolished and modernized.
