Komitas market traders were given at least 3 to 5 months to find new place to trade

ArmInfo. Considering the request of many traders working in the Komitas Avenue market, it was  decided to postpone the repair works in the market for at least 3-5  months, through the mediation of Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan.

This will ensure a smoother transition for traders to a new workplace  where they can continue selling their goods. This is stated in the  official statement of the owner of the Komitas market, Union-Service  LLC.  At the same time, the company emphasized that the historical  and cultural building of the Komitas market will not be subject to  external interference. And on the territory adjacent to the market  building, shopping pavilions have already been dismantled. It is  planned to construct a modern building on this site, which will give  a new look to Komitas Avenue.

In addition, the statement says that the market on Komitas Avenue is  entirely owned by a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, Grigor  Ter-Ghazaryan. The market building was privatized on September 30,  2002.  The current owner purchased it from private parties on  September 1, 2022.

Notably, there are about 100 traders working in the market, many of  whom have been working for decades.
