The government of Armenia will not provide compensation to the businesses that were affected by the recent explosion in Yerevan’s Surmalu shopping center, Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan told reporters.
He said that the businessmen operating in Surmalu have not insured their property.
“The government cannot take a function and compensate the cost which the insurance company should have compensated. If the businessman did not consider that risk high, the government has nothing to do there”, he said.
The Surmalu fire, which happened on August 14, killed 16 and injured 60 more others.
