Controversy has erupted over plans to build a new Hamazgayin (All National) Theater next to the Children's Railway in Mashtots Park.
The plan has the official approval of the current Chief Architect for Yerevan Narek Sargsyan, but former chief architect Gurgen Mousheghyan is convinced it will impact on the air quality of the city.
Some architects oppose the plan, arguing that Tamanyan's master plan for Yerevan never envisaged building such a structure at the location. Environmental activists say the area is public space that should not be encroached up.
Meanwhile, Hamazgayin Theater Director Sos Sargsyan backs the plan and argues that the green space is currently used as a garbage dump and that no trees will be cut.
