Yerevan, 2 June: The Armenian Foreign Ministry has to remind the
Azerbaijani news agency APA of the names of some Armenian diplomats.
“As is known, Gegam Garibdzhanyan is Armenia’s deputy foreign
minister,” Vladimir Karapetyan, acting press secretary of the Armenian
Foreign Ministry, said laconically while commenting on the
“sensational” report of the Azerbaijani news agency APA saying that
the Armenian side has allegedly “offered military aid to Iran to crush
protests in southern Azerbaijan [northwestern Iran]”.
The Azerbaijani report said: “The ambassador to Iran, Gegam
Garibdzhanyan, suggested during secret talks with the Iranian
government that Armenia can send military forces to crush protests in
southern Azerbaijan.”
To recap, Gegam Garibdzhanyan earlier worked as Armenian ambassador to
Iran, but at present, Karen Nazaryan is Armenian ambassador to Iran.
