Students didn’t stand Nalbandyan’s lecture
RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan met with students at the Yerevan State University, but it was a meeting with the selects. The mass media outlets found out at the university that they were prohibited to enter, although the YSU press service had informed all outlets about the meeting. Thus, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prohibited the mass media from participating in the meeting.
Nalbandyan's meeting was unique in that it was an opportunity for students to find out about the "Protocol on Development of Bilateral Relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Turkey".
Before Mr. Nalbandyan's arrival, Nalbandyan's speaker Tigran Balayan was trying to convince the disappointed journalists that Serzh Sargsyan had touched upon the Turkish-Armenian relations in detail during a meeting held today and there was no need to talk about it again.
"The Minister will hold a special press conference on that tomorrow and will answer all your questions. Today's meeting is with the students," said Nalbandyan's speaker Tigran Balayan.
Edward Nalbandyan came to the YSU ten minutes late in a bad mood and refused to answer the journalists' questions. For nearly an hour, he gave a lecture on Armenia's foreign relations and it was so interesting that students came coming in and going out. Why did you come out? In response, one of the students said, confused: "It is very hot inside, I can't stand it."
Nalbandyan refused to answer journalists' questions after the lecture as well, but he was in a better mood and before leaving, he told "A1+":
"I will answer questions tomorrow during my press conference."
