YEREVAN, APRIL 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The zoning project of Yerevan's Shengavit community will be developed this year. The chief architect of Yerevan Samvel Danielian said at the April 14 press conference that private industrial facilities occupy considerable part of the 4,060-ha area of Shengavit community. An attempt will be made to involve the owners of these facilities in the urban development programs to be implemented in the community. According to S.
