How much money is paid to the "International New York Times" for
publishing the material about Serzh Sargsyan?
September 27 2014
"It's not the first time, there have been numerous articles during
Robert Kocharyan's tenure, and during the times of Vardan Oskanyan and
Edward Nalbandyan", so responded the RA former Foreign Minister
Alexander Arzumanyan to the question of Aravot.am of what the RA
President Serzh Sargsyan's authored article entitled "The World War I
and the Armenian Genocide" published in the American "International
New York Times" periodicals will produce to Armenia. Note that
yesterday it became clear that the American periodical had published
Serzh Sargsyan's article on promotional basis and was paid for it. We
asked Mr. Arzumanyan about approximately how much money is paid for
such materials, Mr. Arzumanyan recalling the "costs" of his years in
foreign policy said, about 25 thousand dollars. Then he said that he
is almost certain that the money for printing Serzh Sargsyan's article
was not paid from the state budget of Armenia, moreover, he is almost
sure of who has paid the money. In this context, it is also worth
remembering that Tigran Sargsyan is the Ambassador to the Republic of
Armenia to the United States.
However, Alexander Arzumanyan thinks that there is no problem,
"eventually, it is a viewpoint that you divulge, it is better to
divulge for your country. You just need to be honest, otherwise it is
not the point that the "International New York Times" was day and
night waiting for our article".
