Discussion on prostitutes and “bodyguards”
Armenian intellectuals are concerned about the almost disrespectful enlargement of prostitution at public places. During today's press conference at ‘Friday" Club, Ruben Babayan and Levon Igityan demanded moving the issue to the legislative field and perhaps even open legitimate porn houses.
"It is clear it would be pointless to fight against this phenomenon, but we can set clear definitions," said artistic director of the Hovhannes Tumanyan Puppet Theater Ruben Babayan.
There are also other ways of fighting against this. For instance, Ruben Babayan suggests following Japan's example of turning classical music on for a couple of hours a day at parks or provide lighting until late at night.
According to architect Levon Igityan, it is pain to see the presence of homosexual prostitutes at public places.
Ruben Babayan also touched upon the incident that took place at Harsnakar Restaurant. "They [the bodyguards-ed.] can't deal with an issue in any other way because their minds function like the minds of criminals and they only think of eliminating anyone that offends them."
