ArmInfo.The leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan, continuing a series of meetings with representatives of various social groups, recently held a meeting with musicians and performers at their initiative. The lawmaker, press secretary of Gagik Tsarukyan Iveta Tonoyan announced this on her Facebook page.
As Tonoyan recalls, due to the restrictions caused by the coronavirus epidemic, their field of activity was paralyzed, and a significant number of musicians were left without work. "Expressing unconditional support to the meeting participants, Gagik Tsarukyan suggested finding solutions together. The PAP Chairman instructed the Tsarukyan Foundation experts to study international experience, draw up and submit a package of concrete proposals to him, "the statement says.
Earlier, musicians and performers held protests in front of the Government building, expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that the ban on the activities of closed restaurants and holding mass events deprives them of the opportunity to earn money. In particular, it was noted that before the coronavirus epidemic, their main income came from performances during weddings and other events; with the introduction of the state of emergency and the resulting restrictions, they practically lost their main job.
