YEREVAN, OCTOBER 25, ARMENPRESS: The former administration of Gyumri Municipality has spent the sum of money which was supposed for the state apparatus expenses in 9 months instead of a 1 year. Not only the sum has been spent but a huge debt has been accumulated, about 827 million AMD only for utility services. Armenpress reports that this was declared by the newly elected Gyumri Major Samvel Balasanyan during the extraordinary meeting on October 25.
Samvel Balasanyan also noted that he was not going to step into someone else's so-called “swamp” and the issue had to be discussed and solved with the help of newly elected council which would take the power on November 12.
“There are debts for gas, electricity, “ArmenTel”, salaries, advertising, publication and a list of constructing companies. I am very surprised with the salary debts, 209 million AMD for August and September. With such utility debts Municipality wouldn’t be able to breath. There are even some organizations which threated with going to the court” said Samvel Balasanyan.
The newly elected Major of Gyumri assured that in order to cut the expenses he was willing to refuse the bodyguard service.
