Ms Diana Gasparyan, the Mayor of Echmiadzin, disseminates clarifications on the publications in the press, which says:

“When you wake up in the morning and read an article containing a ‘sensation’ that spreads at the speed of light through several media outlets that ‘serve clear interests’.

And so, the Municipality of Echmiadzin has already bought and not ‘will buy” gold rings with diamonds, which were donated to Echmiadzin newlyweds on 13 February, as part of Tiarn’ndaraj – Feast of the Lord’s Presentation to the Temple. (photo below)

Couples who receive rings will prove that they are not luxurious and expensive and are more of symbolic significance and little attention by the municipality.

I do not expect this post to be spread at the same speed as this is no longer of advantageous to those concerned, so I am referring to the material simply to keep my fellow citizens away from misunderstanding.

We worked and are working open and transparent, served and are serving for the well-being of our beloved city.

I wish you all a good day.”
