During his recent visit to Iran, second president of the Republic of
Armenia Robert Kocharian did not make any statements, said Kocharian’s
press director Viktor Soghomonyan.

`As it is known, upon an invitation by the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Islamic Republic of Iran, Manouchehr Muttaki, second president Robert
Kocharian, with his wife, went to Iran from January 20-21. During the
visit, the print and online publication Tehran Times, as well as other
Iranian media, reported inaccurate details on Kocharian’s meetings; in
particular, reporting on statements made by the RA second president
during his meetings with the Iranian president and minister of foreign
affairs,’reads the release issued by Kocharian’s press office.

Soghomonyan notes that `during the entire visit, which was amicable
and informal in nature, as well as during the mentioned meetings,
Robert Kocharian didn’t make any [official] statements.’

`All things considered, what took place is a result of
misunderstanding or inaccurate translation by the press,’ said
Kocharian’s press director.
