Paper unveils “true purpose” of Armenian FM’s visit to CongoNovember 6, 2012 - 12:37 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - According to Zhoghovurd daily, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian made an unintentional confession at Nov 5 budgetary discussions. To justify his journeys to Southeast Asia and Africa, he deemed it incorrect to list the countries among the exotic states, dubbing Congo one of the leaders in diamond mining. Thus, Nalbandian indirectly confessed to having visited Congo to explore its diamond production as “part of his proactive foreign policy,” the paper says. As the paper claims, Armenia’s authorities often send official delegations to different countries for business enhancement prospects, with Congo reported to be among such states.
