ArmInfo. The "Unity for Self-Determination" party leader Paruyr
Hayrikyan was not allowed to enter Bomako, Mali, to the UN Forum on
the problems of democracy to be held on November 14-28. Armenia takes
part in the Forum in an observer status.
During today’s discussion in "Hayatsk" discussion club, P. Hayrikyan
said that he was invited to the Forum and had already sent the theses
of his speeches, however, the last moment, he and other members of
the Armenian delegation were refused of receiving the entry visa as
vaccination against the amarillic typhus, which is absent in Armenia,
is compulsory for entry in this African country. As a result, Armenia’s
Ambassador to Egypt has left for the UN Forum. "Apparently, our
ambassador to Egypt received this vaccination in time. I only wonder
at the work of our Foreign Ministry. You see, they could informed
of the vaccination necessity beforehand, while the invitations were
received about 3 months before", P. Hayrikyan said.
