“Zhoghovurd” daily writes: “National Assembly President Alen Simonyan’s pre-planned visit to Vilnius was cancelled. The Speaker of the National Assembly of Lithuania does not have time to receive Alen Simonyan. Thus, from the website of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, “Zhoghovurd” daily learned that Alen Simonyan with a rather large entourage left for an official visit to the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, from March 3 to 6, and then, from March 7 to 8, he will leave for Tallinn. The delegation included Arsen Torosyan, Arman Yeghoyan, Arusyak Julhakyan and a group of NA employees, but no opposition MP.
4 days have passed since March 3, but the RA NA official website is silent about the news of the official visit to Vilnius. Moreover, the RA NA Speaker published a photo from Tallinn on his Facebook page yesterday, which directly proves that the NA Speaker’s delegation left for Tallinn immediately. The fact that Alen Simonyan did not go to Vilnius is also evidenced by the next order signed by him, by which the duties of the Speaker of the RA National Assembly from March 5 to 7 are assigned to Hakob Arshakyan. Later, the National Assembly made additions to the relevant order on the NA Speaker’s business trip, adding at the end of the application that it removes the word Vilnius from the text of the order, but there was nothing in the documents about the return of expenses.
“Zhoghovurd” daily called the spokesperson of the NA Speaker for clarification, but the NA Speaker Alen Simonyan answered the phone call personally. The Speaker of the National Assembly confirmed that the visit to Vilnius did not take place, it was postponed.
“The visit was canceled by mutual agreement. They are preparing for elections, there was a disagreement regarding the pre-election days, I was also ill, I could not go,” Alen Simonyan explained. To the question, if the visit is delayed, is there an agreement as to how long it will be delayed, when it should take place? “There is an agreement in the second half of April, maybe around the 19th, that the postponed meeting will take place. we haven’t confirmed it yet, we are discussing this,” the NA Speaker elaborated.
Thus, let’s record that his colleague, the speaker of the Seimas of Lithuania Viktoria Khmelite Nielsen, has no time for Alen Simonyan. I wonder if the organizers of the NA President’s visit did not know that elections are expected in Lithuania during the days of the visit.”
