Moscow – Called back by ‘internal problems’ in Iran, President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad cut short an official visit to neighbouring Armenia,
presidential spokesman Viktor Sogomonyan told Deutsche Presse-Agentur
dpa in Yevran Tuesday.
Ahmadinejad left the Armenian capital for Tehran several hours before
the end of his two-day visit, said Sogomonyan, a spokesman for the
Armenian president.
He blamed the day’s cancelled programme on unforeseen circumstances
in Iran, without offering further details.
The Iranian leader was set to visit a memorial to the over 1 million
victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide and Yevran’s blue mosque.
Later, he had planned to give a speech at the Armenian parliament.
