Armenia President’s Staff issues clarification regarding meetings with Onik Gasparyan

The Staff of the President of Armenia has issued the following clarification:

“Once again, some media outlets have spread misinformation according to which President Armen Sarkissian has allegedly sent a mediator to Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Onik Gasparyan to convince him to resign. Once again, the Staff of the President of Armenia states that this information is clearly false and does not correspond to reality at all.

President Sarkissian and Onik Gasparyan meet whenever it is necessary and hold talks, and official news is provided in this regard. Thus, there is no need for any mediator, much less a fake mediator.”
