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.
