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.
