Certain neighboring countries are spending as much money on anti-Armenian propaganda as Armenia is spending on all of its embassies. This is what deputy of Bright Armenia Party Taron Simonyan said to Minister of Foreign Affairs Zohrab Mnatsakanyan during a discussion on the 2019 State Budget performance report held as part of the joint session of the standing committees of the National Assembly today.

In response, the foreign minister stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs completely relies on the professionalism and experience of its diplomatic personnel to counter anti-Armenian propaganda. According to Mnatsakanyan, the ministry’s objective is to assess the existing platforms correctly and create new platforms through literate calculation of the existing resources and the appropriateness of possible involvement.
