YEREVAN. – Ex-Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan–who is now Armenia’s
Ambassador to US–had a plan to unburden capital city Yerevan,
Hraparak daily reported.
“He seriously intended to move the Culture and the Sport [and Youth
Affairs] Ministries to Gyumri [city]. He even had visited Gyumri and
looked for a [corresponding] building.
“The plan, however, became passe together with him; it was frozen.
“[Incumbent PM] Hovik Abrahamyan [, on the other hand,] is now engaged
in bringing his oligarch surroundings to the tax domain, and he has
disregarded this ‘grand’ idea.
“Our reporter asked Deputy Minister of Culture Arev Samuelyan about
the fate of the plan. ‘It was a working order, the talk has not yet
ended, it continues,’ the deputy minister comforted.
“[But] it is known that the minister of culture was wholeheartedly
against the plan to go to Gyumri,” Hraparak wrote.
