Today, one of the additional questions at the Gyumri Council session was about the telecommunication tower stolen from Gyumri GALA television still in 2008 during presidential election turmoil. The highest authorities of the country discussed good or bad about former Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasyan with GALA television imposing the mayor to take charge of the ownerless telecommunication tower located at Vazgen Sargsyan 6a address and do not even lease it to the television company. Thus, they did everything to deprive television companies from broadcasting so-called “naughty” behavior displaying Levon Ter-Petrossyan’s rallies. A year ago, “CHAP” LLC has filed an application to Gyumri mayor Samvel Balasanyan for temporary use of the telecommunication tower, which is no longer a property of Gyumri community, and approving the size of the annual rental. Today, the Council discussed the application, although quite late, it was addressed a year ago. As to why the discussion of this application was delayed, in response to Gyumri Councilor Levon Barseghyan’s question, Deputy Mayor Ruben Sanoyan clarified that GALA television company owner Vahan Khachatryan has said that he is not in a hurry. The monthly rent was fixed at 150 thousand drams.
