Rumor has it that Robert Kocharyan did not remove former Mayor of
Yerevan Robert Nzaryan from office due to his work habits. Yerevan and
Moscow became “sister cities” during the time when R. Nazaryan was in
office. According to facts, Mayor of Moscow Yuri Lughkov and Robert
Nazaryan had agreed to sell the “Dvin” hotel during that time period.
Sources say that the hotel has been sold to Iosif Kobzon. What made
Robert Kocharyan angry was the fact that Robert Nazaryan had made the
transaction without informing the president.
