/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian community of Lviv, Ukraine, has
never had an intention to rename the city into Aryuts (lion in
Armenian). The information spread by the Azeri media is absurd,
said Vartkez Arzumanyan, member of the Lviv city council, who was
allegedly quoted by the Azeri Press.
"Neither I nor any other representative of the Armenian community
uttered a single word about renaming. We never dealt with employees of
the news agencies which circulated the information," Arzumanyan said,
ProUA reports.
Azeri new agencies of doubtful reputation as well as some Russian
agencies could be the original source of this false information,
according to him.
Azeri Press news agency was first to report that the 6-thousand
Armenian community of Lviv is going to initiate renaming of the
city into Aryuts (lion in Armenian). With a reference to Vartkez
Arzumanyan, the agency reported that the head of the Ukrainian Diocese
of the Armenian Apostolic Church and RA Ambassador to Ukraine Armen
Khachatryan were informed of the initiative and approved it.
