`Whoever Became the Mayor Thought He Should Heist Something and
Leave,' Artur Ispiryan Says
March 26 2013
`I don't like when something is being done for the city, for the
fatherland, and party members forget about that important issue and
start to fight. Those partisan fights are the things I hate the most.
In this case, there was an offer from the Heritage Party, and I
agreed. If I could do something good for my city, it wouldn't matter
which party would make an offer,' Artur Ispiryan, a singer who is
included in the list of the Hello Yerevan Coalition for the city
council, said during a conversation with www.aravot.am. In his words,
he runs for the city council as a citizen, a man who loves the city,
not as an artist. `I put aside all issues regarding art, my records,
my work, because the time has come for us to think about our city.
Although I think of our Taron Margaryan's work somewhat positively,
there are a lot of drawbacks, a lot of things to do.' He complained
about the sanitary condition of the city, in particular. `The sanitary
engineering and the urban planning are in a terrible condition; one
can say the same thing about unfinished buildings. There are a lot of
things that I make notes of when I walk down the streets of the city
and enter such places, where cars cannot enter. There are things that
are behind walls, are not visible, but those issues should be solved;
one should ensure elementary facilities for people. Whoever became the
mayor thought, along with his team, that this city is his private
property; everyone should heist something and leave. It is not like
that. This city is not private property; this is not a pie they can
share with their fellow party members or employees of the city hall,
once they become the mayor. Nothing is left of our city now. One
should think about the appearance of our city too.' Mr. Ispiryan has
one wish that `our nation that drinks the first toast to the parents
will not allow a 70-year-old woman to sweep the streets with a broom
at 4-5 o'clock in the morning as in prehistoric times, without feeling
secure. At night, before the dawn, those aged women in dust, what
year, what century is this? There are various solutions; if many
officials give up on superprofits and think just for a moment that
this city will also be their children's, they will solve those. One
shouldn't make such hasty decisions that have caused such a distortion
in our city's architectural appearance. One should not reelect the
architect who hasn't done anything good the chief architect. All
architects made mistakes and were pressured. If the chief architect
should be pressured, it means that it makes no difference whether he
exists or not.' Arpine SIMONYAN
