Ani Khachatryan, a member of the “Luys” Faction of the Council of Elders, asked a question to Hayk Marutyan, “There are two floors in “Dvin”, built illegally, what decision do we have in that regard, what we are going to do, have they been fined for that?”
Marutyan said, “The protocol related to the building has been drawn up, and our specialists must say which way we are going. Secondly, there is a strange structure right on the “Dvin” hotel, if we look, there is a two-storey glass construction on the left. Here is the same story, either it must be demolished or the whole complex must be legalized and large sums shall be paid to the city budget.”
