On his Facebook page Yerevan Mayor Karen Karapetyan responded to many negative comments in regard with Narek Sargsyan’s appointment as Chief Architect.
Karapetyan assures the Chief Architect will be loyal to Mayor’s policy which denied any site development at the expense of green zones and implementing contradictory urban development philosophy of architectural decisions. The projects they initiated were implemented at the expense of town green zones and old buildings. His architectural projects (mainly in the small centre of the city) dominated over surrounding architectural environment distorting Yerevan image. Sargsyan was highly criticized for ignoring “green zones” and “philosophy of architectural solutions.”
