YEREVAN. – The news about awarding Russian Federation (RF) President Vladimir Putin with the Syunik Eagles Medal is misinformation.
Armenia’s “Syunik Eagles” patriotic NGO chairman, Deputy Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Khachik Asryan told the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.
“I will not comment on what has not taken place. [But] this information was a surprise for me; perhaps a pleasant surprise.
“Khachik Asryan contributes to the continuous strengthening of Armenian statehood with the life he leads, with all his deeds,” the deputy minister added.
To note, Khachik Asryan is coming up with “interesting” ideas, Chorrord Ishkhanutyun (CI) daily had reported.
“CI has learned that he has stated that he wishes to award RF President Vladimir Putin with the Syunik Eagles Medal.
“He said that he is holding talks with the Armenian authorities so that the awarding event be representational.
“The deputy minister’s objective is to organize the medal-giving ceremony in [the] Syunik [Region],” Chorrord Ishkhanutyun had written.
