Assistant to RA Prime Minister Aram Ananyan refuted information by Azerbaijani media that Tigran Sargsyan’s visit to Israel was cancelled as no Israeli official wanted to receive him.

As NEWS.am reported previously, President of Israel-Azerbaijan International Association and former member of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) Joseph Shaga in the interview with 1news.az said that Armenian PM’s visit to Israel was cancelled as none of the senior Israeli political leaders wished to meet him.

“Tigran Sargsyan’s visit to Israel was cancelled due to his illness,” Ananyan emphasized.

Commenting on the information in Armenian media, that Sargsyan was engaged in money laundering being a CBA Chairman, and that was the reason he evaded from going to Israel, as could be arrested there, Ananyan said: “These rumors are untrue and are mere politics, and their target is clear.”
