The construction of the Armenian school blocked since the summer of 2008 
Sebastian Thomas construction is stopped. The reason? A conflict between the Armenian Association of Women-Friendly Schools tebrotzassere (Adaaet), site manager and architect on the construction of the building.
The matter should be settled in court. The
Adaaet already involved since 1928 in a private school in Raincy (see below). In 2004, the Gulbenkian Foundation, based in Portugal, is proposing to partially fund a facility that would be the second Armenian school in France, after that of Marseille. The land, Livry-Gargan, around the school and belongs to the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU), which gives the usufruct. Work began in December 2007. But six months later, the association disillusioned. "During a site visit in July 2008, we realized that there were many things that do not correspond to the building permit," said Jeannine Vartanian, President of Adaaet. We therefore preferred to suspend the site. And the responsibility for detail: "The building exceeded the height of 3 m under a monumental hall had been built in place of the administrative offices, and especially high school was placed too close to the nearby garage. "
The association filed an action against the architect
According to the association, a negotiation was conducted with the mayor to solve the height problem, where a new building permit in February 2010. But the party too close to the garage, he would shave it, which would cost more than 320 000 €. However, the construction specifications of the school has since exploded from 1.7 million euros initially almost 3.4 million. "The architect we was imposed by the Gulbenkian Foundation, says Liyana Cancioglu, advisor of the association. He did what he wanted, we were never consulted. "The
Adaaet therefore filed an action against him before the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris. "It's a tragedy, because the facility was opened in September 2008, we made every effort to have teachers, loose Anahid Avedissian, vice president of the association. And we do not know when work will resume. "
Meanwhile, Zaven Mouradian, the architect of the site, denies all the charges. "The height was well respected and only a corner of the building subject to demolition, but it is far from a whole wing, defends it. If there was a new building permit is not to correct errors but to the AGBU, the landowner, may affix his signature, which was not actually the first time. "As to stop construction, Zaven Mouradian book in a different explanation:" The Gulbenkian Foundation should finance only part of the school and Adaaet did not find the money to continue the work, " defends the architect, who considers him the total cost of construction at 2.7 million.
