Construction of new penitentiary in Armenia nearing completion - minister

ArmInfo. The project to build  a new criminal correctional facility in Armenia is entering its final  phase, Armenia's Minister of Justice Grigor Minasyan told reporters  on January 8. 

According to him, there is a final model of the new prison, with  ideas about what it will be like. Previously, as Minasyan noted, a  competition was held and a company was identified that would develop  a project for a new building of the correctional facility. Currently,  the process of geological and geodetic research is underway to assess  the selected land. "Within two to three months, a final conclusion  will be received, after which the stage of holding a competition to  develop design estimates for a new criminal correctional institution  will begin," the minister noted.
