RA President did not give interview to Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper

Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper’s “exclusive interview” with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is nothing but reporter Ekaterina Sazhneva’s fantasy, the spokesman for Armenian President said.

“President Sargsyan did not give interview either to the newspaper or Sazhneva, who was among the journalists attending Days of Russian Speech in Armenia. The questions published in the alleged interview were not given during the meeting the President held with the journalists in the framework of the event while the President’s words were completely distorted and torn out of the context,” Samvel Farmanyan said.

“Besides, Sazhneva did not inform about her intention to publish the “interview”, what conflicts with journalistic ethics rules. Publication of a fake interview in the competent newspaper arouses bewilderment and regret,” he added.
