According to members of Vartan Ghukasyan's entourage, the former mayor
is going to establish the so-called second town hall in the vicinity
of the central marketplace in Gyumri, in the former courthouse next to
Alexandropol Hotel. It will be officially, de jure called Vardan
Ghukasyan's office, but it will de facto be a town hall, in which Mr.
Ghukasyan will receive citizens, organize gatherings and convene
meetings, as before.
According to the same sources, he decided to decorate his office in
the same style, to have the same interior, colors and furniture, as in
the town hall left by him and enjoyed by Samvel Balasanyan now.
For the moment, the former mayor organizes his gatherings in Oasis
Restaurant that belongs to his elder brother Gevorg Ghukasyan. Mr.
Ghukasyan continues to walk around Gyumri like a mayor, with his
entourage, loyal bodyguards, accompanied by Communist deputy mayor
Gagik Manukyan, every evening he goes from Alexandropol Hotel to
Vardanants Square - he wanders about the town hall, visits also St.
Nshan Church renovated by the Ghusyan Brothers charity fund. In a
nutshell, by doing this, Mr. Ghukasyan wants to show that he is
powerful, that the residents of Gyumri love and need him.
