New metro station to be built with private means: spokesperson
Heading one of the administrative regions of Yerevan for a while is not enough for forming ideas and making high-quality analysis about the city’s affairs, spokesperson of Yerevan mayor Hakob Karapetyan told Aysor.am, referring to the statement of the former mayor of Davitashen administrative region Ruslan Baghdasaryan that the mayor lied and no new metro station will be built.
“When we were speaking about the metro and the development of the metropolitan’s network we did not speak of the loan programs. It was clearly said that an investment program is intended, private investments are necessary. Yes, the EBRD had a loan program relating to the service of metropolitan. I must register with regret that Mr Baghdasaryan is either unaware of the issue or wanted to confuse the people,” Karapetyan said.
As to whether there is some news from the process of construction of new metro station, Karapetyan said that the sketch suggestions are already ready and negotiations are taking place with potential investors.
“No more detailed information may be provided as of now, but we hope the people will not wait long,” the spokesperson stressed.
