YEREVAN. – At Thursday’s Cabinet session, the Government of Armenia has made a decision in connection with Old Yerevan Project in the capital city.

In particular, it was decided to grant the mayor of Yerevan the power to conclude contracts that specify the state’s and the acquirer’s rights, obligations, and accountability during alienation of property in the Old Yerevan Project area.
