It has been a few days since guests from different countries are arriving in Gyumri ahead of the visit of Pope Francis, even there are no rooms in some hotels. A weird spree and enthusiasm are noticed in this city that had become lifeless over the past few years. The main topic of conversation everywhere is the Pope, meeting and seeing him off worthily, getting an invitation and attending the Saturday morning mass. Today, you can also see people wondering in the Vardanants Square in Gyumri who have come to ensure the security of the Pope. Gyumri builders are working hard to finish the construction works in the Vardanants Square as quickly as possible.
The passageway of “Hoktember” Cinema House in Gyumri, as reported by the employees, will be rendered to the media representatives arriving in Gyumri from around the world for the installation of the equipment and covering the events. Although it is impossible to imagine how the 600 accredited journalists are going to work in this narrow passageway, nevertheless, the tables and chairs are already lined up.
