Gyumri Mayor in Brazil to attend Rio Carnival - paper

PanARMENIAN.Net - Mayor of Armenian northern city of Gyumri, Vardan Ghukasyan left for Brazil 5 days ago with a 9-member delegation, Aravot paper reports.

According to the paper, this caused discussions in a Facebook group, with users inquiring about the members of the delegation and the funding of this expensive trip.

One of the group members addresses journalists asking whether any of them can find out answers to his questions, namely, whether the delegation comprises at least one dancer, or they will be disgraced at the carnival; further, what the trip cost, and what could be done in Gyumri with the money spent on this. Another user mocked saying that Gyumri mayor will settle the issues of Rio first and then come back to clean their streets from ice.
