ARMENIA'S FOREIGN MINISTRY LEARNED OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE EMBLEM FROM MEDIA
05.29.2014 17:18 epress.am
MP Alexander Arzoumanian in the National Assembly today asked RA Deputy
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Manasaryan about the activities for
the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide next year. Arzoumanian
said large sums were spent to design the emblem (pictured); meanwhile,
he said, it turned out that it's "simple plagiarism" and a Russian
organization's logo was used.
Manasaryan said the foreign affairs ministry was not involved in
the choice of emblem. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in no way
is involved in these issues. We're in the commission, but that was
implemented with the commission's decision. We are not represented
in specific organizations; we simply saw that along with you," he said.
Arzoumanian said if Manasaryan learned of the emblem from the media,
then a question arises: "Why are we spending enormous sums and
supporting a foreign affairs ministry?"
