YEREVAN. – Aravot daily asked the Armenian National Assembly’s youngest MP, Martun Grigoryan, about his views on Gyumri municipal authorities’ criticisms toward his family that, by opening “night clubs” in the city, his family is ruining the traditional Gyumri. “To note, one of Gyumri’s three night clubs belongs to the MP’s cousin, and assistant manager of ArmRusGazprom Company’s Gyumri Office, Rustam Grigoryan,” Aravot writes.  

“In my view, opening clubs, discotheques, [and] children’s worlds is normal. Who says the Gyumri resident does not deserve to watch the art of professional strippers from the Ukraine?”, the MP said, adding that this business was created in the city upon the request of the Russian military servicemen who are serving in Gyumri. Grigoryan also informed that, upon the suggestion and request of the same Russians, one of his relatives will soon open a disco-karaoke club in Gyumri. “Isn’t it good to open, to create jobs, [and] to also make tax payments in Gyumri?”, Aravot writes.
