YEREVAN. – There should not be homosexuals in our children’s parks. Armenia’s Alternative Research Center Director, economist Tatul Manaseryan stated this during a discussion-press conference on Thursday.

“And I want to make this a touchstone for everyone. How will you resolve this matter [that is] right in front of the [capital city Yerevan] Municipality?” Manaseryan asked Deputy Mayor Vahe Nikoyan and those present.

Nikoyan noted that they are not empowered to intervene in this matter, but Manaseryan retorted:

“But are you not collecting the garbage—the syringe and the condoms they left behind—[that is] gathered after them around your municipality? Do you think that allocating budget for that is better than fighting against it?”
