Stones of the building we are currently constructing? If you are interested, we will talk in details a little bit later,” he said.

Let us remind you that according to the Decision of the Government in January, 2013, the 1005 square meters land costing 401 mln AMD near Saint John the Baptist Church in Kond was donated to “Yerevan, My Love” foundation.
