527 million drams worth of asphalt in Gyumri in honor of Vladimir Putin
December 6 2013
Today, Aravot.am tried to calculate how much money was spent in Gyumri
for getting prepared to RF President Vladimir Putin's visit. It should
be noted that this is kept silent almost everywhere, it seems it is a
state secret. For example, the State Drama Theater of Gyumri after
Vardan Achemyan had been reluctant to give a clear answer to this
question, noting that the theater had also made its share in
financing. Gyumri City Hall assures that they have nothing to do with
funding, they even have no idea how much money is spent, and what
resources were used for the work done. Yet, talking with well-informed
specialist, we managed to know that 60-62 thousand square meters of
asphalt was covered in Gyumri, one square meter costs 8.500 drams, on
other word, it is roughly 527 million drams. Also, 127 new light poles
were installed, of which two of them were installed on the way to the
airport, they contain support post and each one costs 86 thousand
drams. The remaining 125 poles, which do not have support posts, cost
cheaper - 37.500 drams per piece. In short, a total of 4 million 859
thousand 500 drams was spent to add new lighting posts in the city. As
to how much it cost to repair the Gyumri theater and the airport
buildings, since relevant departments keep silent, it is not possible
to publicize precise figures. Of course, we have repeatedly said that
Gyumri residents are extremely happy that their city buried in dark
and mud is illuminated, covered with asphalt, but it is equally
offensive that this is done not for ordinary Gyumri residents, but in
the honor of the high-ranking guest visiting the city.
