Architectural Alarm: Activists want to raise noise about razing of Afrikyan house

The dismantling of an elaborately ornamented house in downtown Yerevan part of historic heritage of the Afrikyan family, stirred heated public discussions on Monday. The house was declared "exclusive supreme public interest" and was sold to a company which is now planning to dismantle the building, numbering the stones so that the facade can be restored in another part of the city.

Citizens concerned about the future of the Afrikyan house (built in late 19th century) on Teryan street, want to see the unique architectural monument preserved.
