"Hraparak": Alen Simonyan "put on a mask" before his visit to Moscow

The “Hraparak” newspaper writes: “NA Speaker Alen Simonyan will leave for another business trip accompanied by his “favorite” deputies. He is leaving for Moscow today for a three-day visit. The delegation includes Hasmik Hakobyan, who always accompanies him, Sisak Gabrielyan, and Vagharshak Hakobyan, who is the chairman of the NA Committee on Regional and Eurasian Integration. Another 7 people are from the staff.

Alen Simonyan, known for his anti-Russian statements, “put a stop to” his once harsh formulations just days before the visit. In an interview the day before, he urged a journalist to abandon the “hybrid war” formulation, since “war” is not a good term, and did not repeat the CP’s statements that Russia is waging a hybrid war against Armenia.

As part of the visit, a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is planned, who in his last press conference touched upon the intentions of the Armenian authorities to extort money from the West under the guise of hybrid warfare and carry out counter-propaganda against Russians.
