While being the mayor of the Armenia's second largest city of
Gyumri Vardan Ghukasyan has gathered debts to a number of different
organizations and his employees.
According to initial information, the debts amounted to 1.2 billion
drams which makes the half of the city budget, press secretary of
the Gyumri's municipality Zohrab Yeganyan told Tert.am.
Asked whether the new mayor is going to pay off the debt gathered by
Ghukasyan, the press secretary said the municipality cannot pay them
off, as the sum is rather big.
Yeganyan said Gyumri Council of Elders will invite an audit company
to check the expenditures made by ex-mayor from the community budget.
"There are debts to companies, there are unpaid salaries. The
government though allocated money for paying salaries for ten months,"
the spokesman said.
Ex-mayor stated earlier that the new mayor has to pay off all the
debts, just like he did it for many years after assuming the post.
After the audit the new staff of Gyumri's municipality will learn
the concrete figures and information.
