YEREVAN. – In principle, I am not going to repeat the statements made earlier. Vahan Kerobyan, the Minister of Economy of Armenia, told this to reporters on Thursday when asked about the controversial media reports on his recent visit to Iran.

According to Kerobyan, he has given dozens of interviews since his appointment, so he cannot be accused of non-transparent work with the public.

When asked by a reporter what these controversial reports were linked to after his being appointed to the aforesaid post, the minister responded that he does not answer meaningless questions. "Why are you forcing me to waste the time for which the taxpayer pays?," Kerobyan asked, addressing the reporter.

To note, according to media reports, Vahan Kerobyan had one time been drunk during his recent visit to Iran, and as a result, his visit to a large Iranian enterprise was a flop.
