THEY CHEAT AS THEY HAVE BEEN CHEATED
Support A1+!An article from Ayb-Fe newspaper.
Representative of Group of Caucasian Communications, the new owner of the Dvin Hotel, Andreas Ghukasyan still in early autumn 2004 promised that he will provide the detailed information on the future plans and the mysterious owners of the hotel. Months passed by, but the Group of Caucasian Communications has nothing to report either to journalists or to the society. To remind, Andreas Ghuklasian did not refute the hearsay binding the sale of Dvin with Russian singer Josif Kobzon.
On the face of it the hotel is not cared of and some people in military uniforms can be noticed in the yard. According to the hotel director thay are police officers. Construction works are carried out inside. On all the 14 floors the unnecessary walls have been demounted, the engineer-communicative elements opened. So why did not the promised meeting take place? The reason is obvious: the meeting with the journalists purposed a certain aim. The administration ran into debt to several tens of former employees. According to various documents the size of the debt was exaggerated and the employees took of the opportunity of the tensed political situation and organized a rally pressing for public resonance. To date 149 out of 157 suits have been settled, the rest 9 will be examined this week. Thus the conflict between the present owners and former employees can be considered settled.
However the conflict aroused through the government’s fault. Judging from the resolution of the government on the sale of Dvin, the executive power practiced deceit when selling the hotel. In other words, it got rid of it. Today, having settled the problems with the debts the owners came across unexpected problems connected with the height of the walls and the scenery of plain old houses around. According to the contract on purchase the hotel complex should be finished within 5 years. But the uncomely scenery will hardly change by 2009 and can damage the image of the hotel providing for high class service.
