KENYAN RELATIVE OF ARMENIAN PRESIDENT - JUST FIB
YEREVAN, MARCH 17. ARMINFO. The statements of Armenian businessman
Artur Sargsyan that he is relative of Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan is just a fib, says the spokesman of the president Viktor
Sogomonyan, commenting on the statements in the Kenyan press by two
Armenian businessmen from Dubai involved in a political scandal.
Artur Sargsyan and Artur Margaryan are accused by the leader of
the Kenyan opposition Rale Oding that they have been hired by the
authorities to attack the local media. The Armenians parried with
counter-charges that Oding has failed to pay them a $1.5 mln debt. In
a press-conference Sargsyan said: "My uncle is Armenian President
Robert Kocharyan, while I am a presidential candidate."
The spokesman of the Armenian FM Hamlet Gasparyan says that the FM
is investingating the case. Armenia has no diplomatic representation
in Kenya and the investigation may take a while but the FM hopes to
find out the truth in a week.
