Yerevan mayor on need for rules of conduct for team 

Yerevan mayor on need for rules of conduct for team 

ArmInfo.  Any manifestation of violence, both physical and verbal in the form of insults, provocations - is unacceptable for us. This was stated by Mayor  Tigran Avinyan during a working meeting of the mayor's office on May  5, commenting on the recent incident in the Nor Nork administration  involving its head Tigran Ter-Margaryan and activist Artur Chakhoyan. 

"Every employee of the Yerevan City Hall, especially the heads of  administrative districts, who are the mayor's representatives in a  given district, are obliged to show restraint under any  circumstances," the mayor said.

In this vein, Avinyan pointed out the need to approve a code of  conduct for his team. Noting that provocations will be an integral  part of life in the age of technology, especially given the obsession  of many with creating a hit on the TikTok platform, he pointed out  the importance of being able to restrain oneself: 

"So that not a single muscle trembles, so that an eyebrow is not  raised."

At the same time, the mayor noted that he would not undertake to give  an assessment, since all this is entrusted to the criminal  investigation and the court. He noted that the mayor's office has  over 100 projects related to kindergartens, of which 40 have already  been completed, 4-5 are problematic, which, as he assured, will  definitely be resolved. , - Avinyan noted. At the same time, he emphasized that  such an act on the part of the activist is a provocation, since the  head of the Nor-Nork administrative district is in no way connected  with these problematic projects, with the acceptance of the work.  , - Avinyan said.

In turn, the head of the Nor-Nork administrative district Tigran  Ter-Margaryan agreed that what happened was a rather unpleasant  sight. , - Ter- Margaryan noted during the meeting.

A few days earlier, activist Artur Chakhoyan, together with a member  of the Council of Elders of the Yerevan City Hall from the Mother  Armenia faction Mesrop Manukyan, went live on air from the territory  of one of the Yerevan kindergartens, for the improvement of which the  city hall allocated 300 million drams. However, the work was done  poorly. After such a broadcast, Tigran Ter-Margaryan lashed out with  insults in a telephone conversation with Artur Chakhoyan, which he  himself confirmed in an interview with one of the media, adding that  he does not regret what he said at all. Ter-Margaryan noted that what  Chakhoyan and Mesropyan did was a provocation, since the mayor's  office has not yet adopted an act on these works, and accordingly,  the funds have not yet been transferred due to the fact that there  are certain problems with the builders.

After the insults were voiced, Chakhoyan and Mesropyan held a protest  and poured yogurt on a poster with Ter-Margaryan's image. Then the  activist expressed a desire to discuss the situation with the  kindergarten at a table in the presence of the media with the  prefect, having come to the Nor-Nork administration.  However, the  employees stated that Chakhoyan had insulted them all with his  actions, as a result of which a verbal altercation ensued, which  escalated into a fight. At the same time, several employees attacked  Chakhoyan, who was joined by the prefect Tigran Ter-Margaryan, who  came out of his office. As a result, Chakhoyan was hospitalized in  the Grigor Lusavorich Medical Center. A criminal case has been  opened.
