"Discovering the musical talent of RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has cost the ruling party quite a lot. The first concert of the "Varchabend" group founded by Nikol Pashinyan took place on January 30.
"Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper informs that 8 million 520 thousand drams were spent for the concert event held in Palladium Hall.
Vahagn Aleksanyan, the vice-president of the CP Department, responding to the inquiry of "Zhoghovurd" daily, said: All the expenses of the "Varchabend" band's concert event held on January 30 were covered by the "Civil Agreement" party.
I present the costs below. Rent of the space: AMD 2,500,000 Branding, design, purchase of paraphernalia: AMD 4,900,100 Instrumentation, musician and DJ salary: AMD 1,119,000 Total: 8,519,940 drams," said the answer to the survey.
This is the official response of CP. "Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper called the said restaurant the other day, trying to find out how much the official grand event costs. The interesting thing is that when comparing with the numbers announced by the restaurant, we notice that the CP party seems to have presented rather modest numbers.
Or great discounts have been made for CP by Palladium Hall, which is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. We wrote that in the case of a hall designed for up to 500 people, the cost of one participant starts from 27 thousand drams. According to this calculation, the service cost of the salon alone can be about 13.5 million drams.
In addition, a separate fee of 600,000 drams is set for the use of musical instruments in the hall, regardless of who represents the band. The cost of the service of the 18-member musical group in the hall is another 1 million drams, for which it is also mandatory to pay.
Thus, about 1.6 million drams are needed only for musical provision. Together, 15.1 million drams or about 40 thousand US dollars are received, in the case of about 500 participants. This price includes high-quality vodka, fruits, soft drinks, 10-year-old "Akhtamar" brandy, 4 types of salad, 2 types of hot dishes, snacks.
And from this list, the KP bypassed the part of dishes or hospitality and did not mention values that would significantly increase the figures of expenses. It turns out that the CP publishes the numbers it wants the public to see."
