Armenia’s Ministry of Culture was not aware that singer and songwriter Vahan Artsruni is going to organize a concert in the Zvartnots historic and cultural monument-reserve. After today’s government sitting, Minister of Culture Armen Amiryan said that they have nothing to do with the delay of the concert. “Organizing a concert means providing lighting, employees, and appropriate conditions for the concert. The organizer himself canceled the concert. Our head of SNCO has contacted the organizers, and the latter reasoned the cancelation of the concert with the decline in ticket sale and also with the weather conditions.” To the question of journalists why the minister is always unaware of upcoming concerts and exhibitions, Armen Amiryan answered. "The organizer did not inform us or our SNCO about the concert. We do not have a contract or an arrangement, but we should have.” The minister also mentioned that during the whole summer, they have held more than two dozens of events in that historic and cultural area. “Organizing events helps us make this historic and cultural monument known which is really a desirable thing for us.”
