Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex (Karen Demirchyani anvan marzahamergayin hamalir), also known as Demirchyan Arena, Sports & Music Complex, or simply Hamalir (for complex in Armenian), is a large multi-purpose sports and concert complex with 184 stairs leading up Tsitsernakaberd hill which dominates over the western parts of Yerevan, near the Hrazdan River gorge. The complex consists of two main halls; the concerts hall and the Sports arena, in addition to the large foyer, the small sports hall, the Hayastan conference hall, and the Argishti hall designated for diplomatic meetings, exhibitions, and other events. In August 2015, the government of Armenia decided to sell the complex to a private firm with plans to renovate the complex and turn it into a "family-oriented center".
