    Six Armenians arrested in Equatorial Guinea on state coup charges

    The Armenian Foreign Ministry has undertaken steps to clarify
    information about Armenian citizens who were arrested in Equatorial
    Guinea and to render necessary legal assistance to them.

    The Armenian Foreign Ministry official spokesman, Gamlet Gasparyan,
    said in a statement that six Armenian nationals had been arrested in
    Equatorial Guinea on March 8 on state coup charges. A group of
    Armenian civil aviation pilots is working in Equatorial Guinea on
    contracts with private companies, the Armenian Foreign Ministry went
    on to say.

    The Armenian ambassadors in New York and Moscow have met their
    counterparts from Equatorial Guinea. Given that Armenia has no
    diplomatic representations in Equatorial Africa, the Armenian Foreign
    Ministry has turned for assistance to friendly countries, which have
    certain influence in Equatorial Guinea, the Armenian Foreign Ministry
    said in its statement.
