Gagik Beglaryan about the reasons for refusal of the Mayor

Transport Minister Gagik Beglaryan unexpectedly has agreed to talk about the reasons for refusal of the Mayor of Yerevan.

When asked by the journalist of the newspaper "Zhohovurd" what happened on December 4, 2010, the day after the famous concert Placido Domingo, Beglaryan said:

"Men's conversation between two men, one was Gagik Beglaryan, the other Kandayan Aram. 

No one else was present at the meeting. 

So far, neither Gagik Beglaryan nor Aram Kandanyan did not make any statements.

There were no records and evidence.

And all the talks and rumors spread in the press and on television, were refused by the Press Secretary of the President."

Beglaryan assured that there were not beating and abduction: "Since they set off false information, people thought Kandayan was in the basement of "Metaks" that he was kidnapped and taken away from Armenia or subjected to severe beating. But at this time between us held a normal conversation ... We even had tea together. Incidentally, it should be noted that he is a good companion."

Note, that after Placido Domingo's concert, rumors spread that the Mayor of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan arranged fight with Deputy Chief of Protocol of President Aram Kandayan.

The world-famous tenor's concert attended senior officials and President Serzh Sargsyan. Tickets to the concert officials handed from the Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosyan.

Among the guests were the Mayor of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan with his wife. However, the mayor did not go to a concert, and gave tickets to his wife, who invited her friend to the event. The Mayor's wife and her friend came in the Sport and Concert Complex after Karen Demirchyan, sat on the chair, standing next to the place prepared for the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.

According to Protocol, in these seats can only sit Catholicos of all Armenians, the Parliament Speaker and Prime Minister, says the Armenian media. An employee of the Protocol Department Kandayan turned to Gagik Beglaryan's wife and asked to change seats.

Such a request angered Yerevan Mayor's wife, and she complained to the Mayor. Beglaryan, deciding to punish Kandayan, beat him after the concert.
