Yerevan's New Plan Is Ready


After eight months of development, Yerevan's new General  Plan is ready.

Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan has repeatedly emphasized the importance of open and transparent presentation of the architectural planning assignment for each individual land plot on the GIS map in the near future.
