  1. These buildings can and should be restored… what the hell… how is it possible to be this… baradi

  2. Well… when diaspora money flows into Armenia, who is actually holding those funds accountable I wonder 💭

    Give them to TUMO. The only institution in Armenia that knows how to handle old dilapidated buildings with due respect and care.

    Alternatively, demolishe these and build pharmacies in their place.

  4. Developing countries all around the world have buildings like this in the center of their main cities and tourist locations. Yea it’s an eyesore and should be restored, but money doesn’t flow to dilapidated buildings when you’re at a constant threat of war, you have other higher priorities like the health and economic well being of your population, their safety, basic necessities like water, power, etc.

    It takes a private person/business to buy that property and invest in its restoration. When it makes financial sense, it will get restored, or a new building will take its place.

  5. If you go in or look from the side, many of these are not safe and falling apart. They’re not safe to be renovated, they need to be demolished. I was told the fees and taxes to destroy buildings is so high that they let all these buildings rot. That’s why there’s so many.

    This is near koghbatsi yeah? I live in Yerevan currently and believe the issue is that most of these are privately owned and there’s owner disputes and what-not going on.

    Similar situation to cascade btw
