Last October 3, the Yerevan Municipality spent 1.938 million AMD
(US$4,110) on a reception to mark Teacher's Day.
A contract was signed with Aries Catering for the 400 person reception.
On December 25, Aires also catered a New Year's gala for the
municipality at a cost of 1.722 million AMD ($3,650). This was a
somewhat smaller affair for 350 guests.
Aires Catering was established in 2003 by Aires Ltd., a company now
non-operational according to Armenia's State Corporate Registry.
This company is owned by Avetik Ghukasyan, Armenia's honorary consul
to Estonia since 2002. The address of the consul is the same as that
of Aires Catering.
Ghukasyan also owns Aires Liber (a company which organizes conferences
and related services), andAires Lunch (a restaurant network).
Many government offices are clients of Ghukasyan's catering and lunch
services. They include the Yerevan Municipality, the Prosecutor
General's Office, the RA Police, the Holy See of Etchmiadzin, the
Central Bank of Armenia, the Republican Party, as well as various
international organizations and companies, and foreign embassies.
The company organizes receptions and buffet dinners at a number of
locations throughout Armenia. One favorite site is the Garni pagan
temple. Aires Catering organized an open-air reception and dinner at
the temple on April 26, 2012.
Armenia's Central Bank seems to be in love with Garni for it has held
receptions at the site in 2011, 2012 and 2014.
Readers will remember the public uproar over a corporate party held
at the 7th century ruins of Zvartnots, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
last June.
Armenia's Ministry of Culture periodically rents out Zvartnots and
other historical/cultural sites for a variety of corporate events
and receptions, including wedding parties.
