RA MFA refutes reports of some Turkish media
The Armenian Foreign Ministry slammed some Turkish media for circulating absurd information.

"I flatly refute the reports by some Turkish media that Varuzhan Gardisian will be present at the qualifying soccer game between Armenian and Turkish teams and will sit in the government box," head of RA MFA media relations division Tigran Balayan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Varuzhan Gardisian was convicted for blasting a Turkish jet at Paris Orly Airport in 1983, killing 8 people. Acquitted and released in 2001, he moved to Armenia for permanent residence.
