Hraparak: Gyumri may be renamed Aleksandropol
Rumors are circulating in Russian political circles that in all likelihood the city of Gyumri will be renamed Aleksandropol after Vladimir Putin’s visit to Armenia.
“Putin thus wants to revive Russia’s once reigning might in this area. Following Armenia’s entry into the Customs Union, Gyumri will become a border city between the Customs Union and NATO-Turkey,” ‘Hraparak’ daily writes.
