Kocharyan denies official talks during Russia visit

Armenia’s second president Robert Kocharyan stated at a press conference that he had traveled to Russia about a month ago for two days solely for personal reasons. His remarks come amid media reports alleging he met in Moscow with Sergey Kiriyenko, considered the Kremlin’s point person on Armenian affairs, Aysor.am reports.

“I was in Russia on Saturday and Sunday, and returned to Armenia on Monday. If there were official meetings, I would probably have been there on other days. I understand that whenever I go to Moscow, such stories are bound to circulate,” Kocharyan said.
