ArmInfo.Information about the ban on my entry to Russia is misinformation. A similar opinion was expressed by ArmInfo Foreign Minister, Artsakh presidential candidate Masis Mayilyan.
On March 3, the Yerevan-based Hraparak newspaper, citing some sources, distributed "unofficial information according to which the Russian authorities limited the entry of Masis Mayilyan and Samvel Babayan into the country for 5 years."
It is noteworthy that the "information" of "Hraparak" was immediately picked up and disseminated by the Azerbaijani media. In some cases, those who regarded this "news" as evidence of Moscow's reluctance to take the tandem Mayilyan-Babayan to power in Artsakh. Azerbaijani colleagues consider the "information" the attention of the Armenian "Hraparak" as evidence of the increasing chances of ex-state minister Araik Harutyunyan presidency in Artsakh.
At the upcoming March 31 presidential and parliamentary elections in Artsakh ex-commander of the Artsakh Defense Army Samvel Babayan supports the candidacy of the current Foreign Minister of the Republic of Masis Mayilyana. Mayilyan's main competitor is Araik Harutyunyan, which is put by the current authorities of Artsakh and the former authorities of Armenia. Now let's try to draw our own conclusions briefly. The Hraparak newspaper, working against the "new Armenia", is spreading deliberate misinformation in the interests of "candidate of the past" Araik Harutyunyan. And (attention!) in the interests of Azerbaijan. In any case, this is evidenced by a surge of joyful emotions in the media of a neighboring country in connection with the "news" about the ban on visits of Mayilyan and Babayan to Russia. We leave the prerogative of the remaining conclusions to the Artsakh voters.
