This means that many will lose their jobs: about 40 people work at our club,” says the manager of Omega who preferred remaining anonymous. The amendments also prescribe defining the complicated procedure of licensing, which, according to some club managers, is an attempt to monopolize the sphere. According to the amendments, “the list of places where strip club enterprises can be settled in Yerevan, and the additional terms of getting licenses are defined by Yerevan Council.” “The whole industry will belong to Beglaryan (Mayor of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan), because he will be the one to secure a license,” owner of a Yerevan strip club told ArmeniaNow, allegeding that the mayor owns a strip club and is trying to prevent competition. The amendments must still be approved by the National Assembly of Armenia, but strip club owners are sure that they will pass. Another noteworthy change is that the distance between a striptease dancer and a client must be no less than two meters and physical contact is also forbidden by the law.
