"If I had been wearing a hat, they would have said, 'Is it kaska?'" Eric Karapetyan (Aravot)

At the "Festival" held in Ijevan, in which Nikol Pashinyan and Anna Hakobyan participated, singer Erik Karapetyan performed together with artists Dato Khujadze and Nutsa Topuria from Georgia. The artist's outerwear was discussed on social networks, some people had the impression that he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

Aravot.am tried to find out from the singer if he really performed in a bulletproof vest. The singer was upset. "Don't you distinguish a bronze vest from a vest? It's just a piece of cloth, a stage outfit, I can tell you where I ordered it from... Now if I was wearing a hat, they would have said it's a helmet... Are you talking about the vest that left the country's problems behind... For example, 20 thousand yesterday there was a person at the concert, they went away happy, write about it... We sang for an hour and a half, the sweat was pouring like water, the vest was wet, but it hasn't dried yet, I got off the stage, and you are talking about the bronze vest." Eric also said. , that he donates a portion of his earnings to charity, but he never talks about it, it is not written about in the press.

"You're bothering me, I'm an artist, I'm doing my hard work, I get off the stage, you're calling and discussing a vest, what's the point of asking... A lot of good things have happened, I've been singing a lot with my band, it's very nice. but it was my clothes that got people interested..."
