YEREVAN. - Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan has always acted as an impeccable professional, Russian TV presenter and public figure Vladimir Solovyov said at a press-conference in Yerevan on Monday

Responding to question on the assessment of the Armenian PM, Solvyov noted: "I know Karen personally: We have been friends for many years, when he was far from Armenian politicians. Thus, how can I assess my friend, when I am not a man who is directly involved in this? I know him for other activities: he has always acted as an impeccable professional. But it would be impolite and absolutely incorrect to judge his several-months activity as a prime minister, especially when election campaign in kicking off in your country."
