PanARMENIAN.Net/ The representative of any country abroad is financed
by the State and there is nothing extraordinary in the U.S. Ministry
of Justice report, said Vardan Barseghyan, Deputy Minister of NKR MFA,
former head of the Standing Representative of Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic to the USA. `From time to time we work with PR
specialists. It is a regular diplomatic practice and there is nothing

The U.S. Ministry of Justice has published a report on the activities
of lobbyist companies supporting the interests of the foreign states,
organizations, and private citizens of the USA for the first half-year
