consecration ceremony of the newly built church in Abovyan city.
Police Public Relations and Media Department Chief Ashot Aharonyan
told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the Chief of Police could not attend
the event solely due to his work overload.
Heritage's National Assembly Faction leader Ruben Hakobyan, who was on
hand at the official opening on behalf of the party, told us that
Hovannisian could not attend the event because he was not in capital
