Old Yerevan (Abovyan Street and adjacent older districts)

Old Yerevan denotes the historic/older districts of Armenia's capital, centered on streets such as Abovyan Street and including older urban fabric and late‑Soviet construction. The supplied sources situate Old Yerevan within Yerevan's administrative districts and note its presence in contemporary art (for example, the painting 'Old Yerevan (from my window)' by Gabriel Gyurjyan) and international media coverage of urban life (a 2014 VPRO Metropolis segment). Declassified CIA reports in the source set provide background on mid‑ and late‑Soviet construction organization and practices that shaped housing and prefabricated building stock across the USSR; these offer contextual information relevant to surviving Soviet‑era buildings in Yerevan but do not tie specific construction policies to named abandoned structures in Old Yerevan. The research notes contain no eyewitness accounts, no documentary reports, and no historical records of apparitions, poltergeist activity, hauntings, named spirits, or other paranormal phenomena associated with Abovyan Street or any specific abandoned Soviet‑era buildings in Old Yerevan. Consequently, no concrete paranormal events are substantiated by the supplied materials. The notion of 'abandoned Soviet‑era buildings reputed haunted' appears in the research request but is not supported by the provided sources; recording any such phenomena would require additional evidence beyond the current source set.
