YEREVAN. – They say ruling Republican Party of Armenia MP and businessman Samvel Aleksanyan, who advances his business plans in the Kurdish area of Iraq’s Kirkuk and also sells there the whiskey he “produces,” has “engaged” in Iran, too, but he stumbled upon the relevant authorities of fundamental Iran, reported Irates De Facto newspaper.  

“He attempted to take quite a large amount of whiskey to Persia, but it ‘froze.’ And now, he is in a major money debauchery, for alcohol use—its import, even more—is banned in Iran.

“And now, with the juggling [act] characteristic to him, the NA [i.e. the Armenian National Assembly] MP is trying to get out of a quite difficult situation,” wrote Irates De Facto.
