Armenian President has never phoned U.S. Vice President Joe Biden
Armenian President’s Spokesman Armen Arzumanyan commenting upon the video ascribed to Vice President of the United States Joe Biden placed on youtube.com this morning by an anonymous source said: “President of the Republic of Armenia has never phoned United States Vice President Joe Biden. Two phone conversations took place on latter’s initiative in 2009 when the President of Armenia neither directly nor indirectly made the statement ascribed to him in the video. On the contrary, in all public speeches and official meetings President Sargsyan attached importance to international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide and called on not to justify delay of the recognition by ongoing negotiations with Turkey. Being sure that the White House has the stenographies and recordings of all official phone conversations of U.S. Vice President, Armenian President’s Administration gives its official consent to publish the mentioned phone conversation’s recording.”
