Pashinyan Explains Why Snoop Dogg Concert Is Organized

Cultural life is buzzing in Yerevan: This opinion was expressed by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The Snoop Dogg concert, scheduled to take place in Yerevan on September 23, is, according to Pashinyan, one of the testimonies of this vibrancy.

During a pre-election rally of the Civil Contract party, Nikol Pashinyan also addressed the question of why the government is allocating 6 million dollars for the organization of this concert. “We say we are a nation of 3,000 years, a state of 3,000 years. But has anyone ever conducted a statistic on what percentage of the world's population knows the word 'Armenia'? And yes, this is part of why we are doing it. When a concert with stars of such magnitude takes place in Armenia, the name Armenia circulates in the world, among youth, on social networks. We are doing this for the name of Armenia, so that no one thinks that Armenia does not exist, that no one thinks that Armenia has been broken or that Armenia is on its knees,” Pashinyan stated.
