Manukian Ltd. Management has personally informed Philip Kirkorov
producer that a political mistake is available and his presence in Yerevan
is becoming not safe, Manukain Ltd. Press Secretary Temine Hayrumian stated
at a press conference today. When commenting on the complaint letter of the
opponents of the concert, she noted, "silence of the organizers of the tour
of Philip Kirkorov to Yerevan to the demands to cancel the concert even
more inspired the opponents of the tour, which let to the letter containing
obvious threat." At the same time she assured that Kirkorov did not refuse
from the concerts and merely regretted that he will not be able to sing in
Yerevan. Answering the question on the 3 million drams, which, as stated by
her before, were provided by Yerevan Foundation as financial assistance to
the capital City Hall, Temine Hayrumian assured, there was no support from
the City Hall. Taking the opportunity, T. Hayrumian apologized to singers
Anna Aghajanian and Varduhi Vardanian as due to objective reasons they were deprived of
the opportunity to perform in Philip Kirkorov's concert program.
