YEREVAN. - During his visit to the Czech Republic in late October,
Armenia's National Assembly (NA) Speaker excelled in his demands to
exhibit a "precious" approach toward him, Zhamanak daily reports.
"According to Zhamanak's information, Abrahamyan demanded that he
be accommodated in the presidential luxury suite-whose daily charge
is over $7,000-$8,000-in Prague's most expensive hotel. The thing
is that the delegation led by the NA Speaker had gone to the Czech
Republic at the invitation of the Senate president of that country,
and the inviting side covered the cost of the visit.
When those who welcomed [the delegation] presented to Armenia's
delegation where it will be accommodated, Abrahamyan did not like his
hotel suite and asked for a presidential suite. The Czech informed that
the Armenian NA leader was given a presidential suite, but Abrahamyan
sent news that he wishes to stay at the presidential suite of the hotel
where the US and [Russian Federation] RF presidents had stayed at.
When the Czech were informed of Abrahamyan's 'precious' wish,
they first were astonished and, subsequently, informed that their
budget does not foresee such expense, especially when the Armenian
delegation's visit was for four days. So, Abrahamyan was compelled to
spend the night at a suite whose daily charge is a mere $1,000-$2,000,"
Zhamanak writes.
