Activities of the structure will not change, by abolishing the Ministry of Urban Construction and establishing, instead, the  State Committee on Preservation of Architecture and cultural values, said an honored Armenian architect Sashur Kalashyan in an interview with the NEWS.am. "The name has nothing to do with the activities. It is not important whether it will be called Ministry or Committee. What’s important are the activities.”

The architect, referring to handing the authority of preserving cultural heritage to the newly-established committee of architecture, said, that it was a positive initiative. "I know that the Minister of Culture expressed her disagreement with this, but I see it as a positive initiative. I do not think that everything is perfect, but it is obvious that there is a desire to review the mistakes," said Sashour Kalashyan.The Ministry of Urban Construction told the NEWS.am, that the leadership of the committee has not yet been discussed, and, therefore, they cannot inform any details. 

Earlier the NEWS.am reported that on September 22 during the governmental session, the chief of the governmental staff David Harutyunyan announced that the Ministry of Urban Construction is suggested to be dissolved. Instead, there will be established the State Committee for Protection of architecture and cultural values  .
