Tsarukyan united all
AnalyticalTsarukyan seems to have found a way to unite all. At the consecration of St. Hovhannes representatives of almost all political field were invited and attended the event. All wings of the political field were there, though at the highest level.
First came the "boss." PAP leader took a few steps in the direction of the church, immediately surrounded himself with journalists and right next door to the house of Lord announced that the PAP will never be an opposition.
Then came the influx of visitors. RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan came, kissed Tzarukian properly and stood by the host greeting the guests.
Next came the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharian with a tan, with light sport gait...
President Sargsyan arrived without his wife. A few minutes after the arrival of the President tehre came Vatican Ambassador.
Mikael Minasyan also embraced Gagik Tsarukyan, shook hands with everyone and stood close with Tsarukyan.
Everyone was waiting for Lukashenko, when another senior car stopped and there came RA NA Speaker.
Finally Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko came with his youngest son, and then everyone started to go up to the church.
At the invitation of Tsarukyan members of the ARF-D- Hrant Margaryan, Armen Rustamyan, Aghvan Vardanyan also attended the consecration of the church...
Heritage Party, represented by Ruben Hakobyan was also there.
Armenian National Congress arrived with a fairly representative team- Levon Zurabyan, Aram Manukyan, Lyudmila Sargsyan...
In fact, Tsarukyan managed something which is not so easy to imagine in our country. PAP leader could at least for one day, at least for a few hours unite opposition forces around him, or not around him, but in any case, around the church, built by him. And it must be said, is not so easy.
P.S.
For centuries, our kings and princes, who built churches, love to leave their "trace" on them. In some cases, the architects chose to carve the king, in some cases, there was the dynastic emblem of the family on them. As you know, Gagik Tsarukyan's favorite animal is lion. Asked whether lion's images once were used in the architecture of churches, according to the President of the Union of Architects Mkrtich Minasyan and Artists' Union President Karen Aghamyan said that animal ornamentation was also used in the past.
P.S. 2
Yerevan's ordinary citizens had the opportunity to attend church consecration. On the way back on the road when the bus was passing Gagik Tsarukyan's house, all of a sudden, I heard a women' talk from behind.
- Have you seen Gagik Tsarukyan's house?
- These enclosures?
- Yeah.
- These domes?
- Yeah.
- Whose are the following enclosures?
- Those also belong to him.
- These domes, too?
- Yeah, they belong to him.
-What can he do with so much?
Suddenly, one of the women, perhaps, remembered that it's about PAP benefactor Gagik Tsarukyan, whose philanthropy, apparently, she also got, said.
Well, it's an empty land. Look how many trees are planted.
