The Mayors of Yerevan and Moscow Yervand Zakharyan and Yuri Luzhkov
opened the Moscow House in Yerevan. The Moscow Mayor was satisfied
with the construction works, and during the solemn ceremony he
expressed his gratitude not only to Mayor Yervand Zakharyan, but also
the architect of the building Levon Vardanyan.
Before the opening ceremony Yervand Zakharyan and Yuri Luzhkov
discussed the further steps of cooperation between the two
capitals. In Yervand Zakharyan’ s words, the Moscow House is important
not only for Moscow, but also Yerevan.
It’s worth mentioning that on March 25 the two Mayors will attend the
ceremony of opening of the `Yerevan’ Trade Centre in Moscow. Yuri
Luzhkov mentioned that the trade centre in Moscow will only deepen the
relations between the two countries.
Yuri Luzhkov did not rule out that his business wife may decide to
make investments in Armenia. `Despite all the rumors, my wife is a
rather successful businesswoman and can make correct investments,’ he
said.
`We want to solve the social questions existing between the two
capitals and believe that the cooperation will be productive,’
Mr. Luzhkov considers.
Yuri Luzhkov, who is a frequent guest in Yerevan, is particularly
pleased with the constant changes in out city.
It comes out that our Russian friends are well familiar with Armenian
culture. Quite recently the Mayor of Moscow was surprised at the
number of people gathered at the opening ceremony of Aram
Khachatryan’s monument in the Russian capital. According to
Mr. Luzhkov the President of Russia Vladimir Putin also participated
in the opening ceremony. In his words, Russian and Armenian cultures
are linked with many ties.
During today’s opening ceremony the Armenian translation of Yuri
Luzhkov’s ` Renewal of History’ book was presented. In this book the
Mayor tried to analyze the most important issues of world politics and
the challenges of the 21st century.
