NATIONAL LIBRARY FATE IS OBSCURE
Support A1+!Yerevan vice-mayor Kamo Areyan said Monday that National Library no longer belongs to the municipality. It handed over to the government.
Yet in 1998, Credit-Yerevan Bank built an additional third floor in the library house and moved the library to that floor. The bank was given the first two floors for that.
In 2003 the government got its eye on library premises and declared them its territory.
It means the building’s fate is in the hands of the government-affiliated state property department.
Afterward, Credit-Yerevan Bank went bankrupt and his premises were occupied by Unibank.
The library personnel fear they will be evicted from the building. They sent a protest letter to the PM.
