Event in U.S. turns into collapse for Armenian MPs

By Trend

The event entitled “The Promises of Armenia’s Velvet Revolution: Advancing Democratic Reforms and Strengthening Cooperation with the U.S.” has turned into collapse for Armenian MPs, Trend reports Nov. 15.

The event was held Nov. 14 at the German Marshall Fund in Washington, where Vice-Speaker of Armenian Parliament Vahe Enfiajyan, MPs Lilit Makunts (head of Pashinyan’s My Step Alliance), Edmon Marukyan and Tatevik Hayrapetyan made speeches.

Despite preparations that lasted several days, the event, aimed at promoting Armenia’s new government, gathered only about a dozen people.

This once again showed the U.S. skeptical attitude to Armenia’s “reformist” intentions. Along with this, the visit of the Armenian MPs, coinciding in time with the visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the U.S. stayed in the shadows.
