“YOU FORGET THAT I AM THE MAYOR OF MOSCOW”
Support A1+!“I approve of the words of RF and RA Presidents; Russia is Armenia's number one economic partner”, Ervand Zakharyan, Mayor of Yerevan City, announced during the inauguration of the House of Moscow in Yerevan.
To note, tomorrow Ervand Zakharyan will participate in the opening ceremony of a trade centre of Yerevan in Moscow together with his Russian counterpart Yuri Luzhkov.
“The House of Moscow in Yerevan symbolizes not only the military collaboration of the two countries, but also the level of new relations between the countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is necessary to enhance political, economic, cultural and human ties between the two countries under question”, Yuri Luzhkov notes.
One of the journalists wondered why the construction works were confined with Russian investments.

Asked the question whether the mayor’s family intends to start business in Armenia, Mr. Luzhkov said, “My wife has her own business and I never intervene in her affairs. She is a successful businesswoman. It is up to her to decide whatever she needs. I have absolutely no influence on her affairs. I get informed from the press what she has bought, sold, etc.”
To note, Yuri Luzhkov notices great changes in Armenia. “Yerevan has become more beautiful. The number of new constructions has increased. I like the fact that there are no casinos in the city centre”, Yuri Luzhkov points out.
