The paper says it has learned from sources that President of the
European Council Herman van Rompuy was supposed to be accompanied by
his wife in the course of his visit to the South Caucasus region.
But as it turned out later, he came to Yerevan alone.
Mrs. Van Rompuy was reported at the last moment to have cancelled her
trip because of health problems. She was scheduled to attend a special
event in Yerevan together with Armenia's first lady, Rita Sargsyan,
says the paper, adding that the program agenda was of political
nature, not of cultural or social.
But citing its sources, the paper claims that the high-ranking
European official's spouse had her own reason for cancelling the trip.
She reportedly has problems with the [EU] member-states, the situation
being serious to such an extent that some of them even decided to
create problems for her via their air companies. As for Mr. Rompuy,
the paper says he had great difficulty in arranging his trip.
The European official was in Yerevan on Wednesday morning. As early as
in the afternoon, he already left for Georgia.
