Minister proposes renaming Yerevan metro station

Armenian Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan has called for renaming Yerevan’s Yeritasardakan Subway Station after renowned Armenian writer Avetik Isahakyan. 

The proposal was revealed by Yerevan City Council member Hovsep Kubatyan, who expressed strong disapproval of the idea.

“There’s not much to comment on. All I can say is that anyone making such a proposal clearly has no connection to Yerevan, its culture or cultural heritage," Kubatyan wrote on Facebook.
