Risky Roof? Former Prime Minister Gets Green Light to Build Additional Floor on Cascade Building

Walking down the steps of Yerevan's Cascade Complex, I suddenly felt a sense of asymmetry; that something was amiss.  

What is "out of place" is the construction project of Armen Sargsyan, a former Armenian Prime Minister.  

One month ago, work began on a one story addition atop a building that overlooks the Cascade's manicured lawns and Cafesjian Museum.

It seems that Sargsyan, who owns apartments 74 and 75 at #3 Tamanyan Street, wants more living space on this prime piece of Yerevan real estate.

The building was built in the 1950s and is part of a series of buildings that encircle the Cascade's green space; a popular meeting place for tourists and locals alike.
