Valerie-Ashkhen Gortsunyan, a French businessman and the former owner
of the company Cafe de Paris, still waits for the fulfillment of the
promise made to her by Mayor Taron Margaryan that the open-air part
of Cafe de Paris will be reopened. "Mr. Mayor personally said that the
summer part of Cafe de Paris will be opened two months after cleaning
up Abovyan Street, but after rather long negotiations he permitted
to open only the part beside the wall and the street part is not
permitted yet. I trusted his word and I am surprised that the mayor's
word may be worthless," Ms. Gortsunyan said during a conversation with
www.aravot.am. Finding out that the mayor had permitted the brother
of Gagik Beglaryan, the Minister of Transport and Communication, to
open a cafe in the very place where the dismantled booths had been, Ms.
Gortsunyan became more disappointed, "A naïve Diaspora Armenian thinks
that the mayor should respect his word. It is hard for me to say
whether the mayor of Yerevan is free to make decisions or whether
oligarchs allow him to act freely for their political interests,
but seeing the Armenian reality, it is hard for me to believe that
he is the right mayor or the mayor who defends the interests of the
city and its citizens."
