    ARMENIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY TERMS A WEEKLY'S REPORT AS "BLATANT LIE"

    Armenpress
    Nov 07 2006

    YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian defense ministry
    has denied today a report placed by the weekly Iravunk, run by the
    Constitutional Right Union opposition party, which claimed as if
    the ministry's governing board had convened an emergency meeting on
    November 4 to discuss defense minister Serzh Sarkisian's political
    agenda.

    A brief press release by the defense ministry, disseminated today to
    all Armenian media outlets, said the report that appeared in today's
    issue of the weekly, was inconsistent with reality.

    The ministry said no emergency meeting had been held on November 4. It
    said also the report in the weekly claiming this was 'a concoction
    and a blatant lie."

    The ministry's press release said, " The defense ministry has said
    on various occasions and many times that the Armenian army is an
    apolitical body that does not meddle in political processes."
