“Aravot”: the hotel can collapse onto Municipality building

The Ijevan Hotel, which is located nearby the Municipality building of Armenia’s Ijevan city, has been left to its fate already for fifteen years. The nine-storey Hotel, which used to be the city’s symbol, does not function for a long time. It is in dilapidated and deteriorated condition.
“Ijevan Municipality informed that the Hotel’s building was privatized to Eduard Avetisyan on February 5, 2007. [But] The Municipality employees do not know this person, and they believe he is not an Ijevan resident.
The Municipality was unable to inform whether or not Avetisyan has a property tax debt because he has not submitted tax reports.
Ijevan Mayor Vardan Ghalumyan said the Hotel building’s basement is inundated with water accumulated as a result of a water pipeline accident. The building’s foundation has become dilapidated, one day it could collapse onto the Municipality building.”
