YEREVAN. - The election for the leader of the Armenian community of
the Ukrainian capital city Kyiv was conducted on Thursday, 168 Zham
daily reported.
"As a result, 300 of the 400 delegates participating in the meeting of
the community representatives voted for Norayr Grigoryan whom, in a
conversation with our reporter, Armenian Ambassador to Ukraine
Andranik Manukyan considered as a 'patriotic and highly respected
figure.'
"To the query that there are a lot of complaints--also in the
Armenia-based press--related to him, Manukyan responded:
'"It's much easier for me to fight against the anti-Armenian
activities of the Azerbaijani lobbyists working in Ukraine than
[against] the Azerbaijani spy network ofArmenia.
'"My activities in Ukraine truly worry the Azerbaijanis, and they
attempt to discredit me in every way, sadly, being able to use--for
this objective--some people who present themselves in Ukraine as
Armenians.
'"But we have managed to find out that they, by falsifying their
surnames and presenting themselves as Armenian, are contacting the
Armenia-based media and trying to create a tense atmosphere between
the [Armenian] ambassador and the [Ukrainian-Armenian] community,
which they naturally fail [in doing],'" 168 Zham wrote.
