He stated that all the events organized by the Yerevan City Hall have been of very high quality.

Avinyan also mentioned that during a recent review, it was discovered that one of the suburban districts of Yerevan had spent 3 million AMD on a corporate trip, which also included 10 years of maintenance costs. He expressed his concern about the level of expenditure and its impact on the quality of dialogue. Avinyan questioned whether such extravagant expenses were necessary.

Despite these concerns, Avinyan acknowledged the incredible work done by the employees of the City Hall and the suburban districts throughout the year. He believed that their efforts deserved recognition in some form.

Overall, it is evident that Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan is prioritizing quality over cost when it comes to the services provided by the municipality.
