YEREVAN. – The Armenian Presidential Residence recently spent close to $3,500 on the functions that are organized for the receptions of official delegations, Zhoghovurd daily reports. 

“This entire amount was spent to entertain the official delegations.   

“In an interesting coincidence, the delegation of Štefan Füle, European Union Commissioner for Enlargement [and European Neighbourhood Policy], was in [capital city] Yerevan in those days.  

“Perhaps, it was the generous hospitality done for them which became the reason [why] Füle decided, upon arriving in Europe, to accelerate the process of taking Armenia there,” Zhoghovurd writes.
