DEPUTY YEREVAN MAYOR CONFIRMS THAT KIRKOROV’S YEREVAN CONCERTS WON’T
BE HELD
YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The student councils of almost all
Yerevan higher schools applied to Yerevan Mayor’s Office with a
request not to permit the holding of Russian singer Philip Kirkorov’s
concerts in Yerevan. Meeting the students’ requests and considering
that everything done in this sphere is done for youth, Yerevan Mayor’s
Office applied to the Manukian LTD, the organizer of the concert, and
received a positive answer at the same time calling on to organize
return of tickets. Arman Sahakian, Deputy Yerevan Mayor, declared this
at the March 31 press conference. He also said that according to
information received from the singer’s producer center, Kirkorov
doesn’t want to perform on tour in Yerevan, either. Arman Sahakian
refuted the rumours spread by the Manukian LTD, according to which
Mayor’s Office allocated 3 mln drams (6.5 thousand dollars) for the
holding of the concerts. “The assistance of the Mayor’s Office was
that it was to provide the security. Henceforth the Mayor’s Office
will carry on a policy, according to which such events may be only
organized by Mayor’s Office by concluding inter-state agreements,”
Deputy Mayor declared.
