YEREVAN. – Prostitution and pimping are flourishing in Armenia, because
this is convenient for those agencies whose job it is to prevent this
phenomenon, capital city Yerevan’s Puppet Theater Artistic Director
Ruben Babayan said during a press conference on Tuesday.
“The prostitutes’ profits are shared on the 50/50 principle. And if
they claim that the body is a person’s property and the person can
do whatever he/she pleases with his/her body and provides services
[with it], this service must be taxed and the service-providing
product must be examined,” stated Babayan.
In addition, Ruben Babayan maintained that if the prostitutes’
services are taxed, they can be transferred outside Yerevan, just
like it was in the case of the casinos.
“English scientists have proven that having sex without love damages
the health. So, going to the prostitutes solves no problem and makes
it worst,” he said.
In his turn, Yerevan Council of Elders member, architect Levon
Igityan noted:
“Latter half of the 20th century and the 21st century are most
disgusting centuries in the history of humanity, because human values
are distorted completely.”
