Serj Tankian: SOAD concert in Yerevan?

ArmInfo.Serj Tankian, frontman of the iconic rock band System of a Down (SOAD), has denied Armenian  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's earlier announcement of the band's concert in Yerevan.

On his Instagram profile, Tankian asked, "A SOAD concert in Yerevan?"  and wrote that there seems to be some confusion.

The musician stated that the performance was previously planned for  July of this year, but due to logistical and other difficulties, the  decision was made to postpone the concert. "We will announce a new  date as soon as it is agreed upon. Thank you," Tankian wrote. In this  regard, Armenian Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports  Zhanna Andreasyan reported on her Facebook page that the possibility  of holding a SOAD concert in July had been discussed. However, a  number of organizational issues, including time constraints, prevent  the concert from taking place in July. "However, the concert remains  on the agenda, and we will coordinate the dates with the band in the  near future," Andreasyan stated.

Days earlier, as part of a campaign in the Avan administrative  district, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced a SOAD  concert in Yerevan at Republic Square in July of this year.
