Minister of Foreign Affairs Eduard Nalbandyan denied that his
Mercedes-Benz S-Class was a present from a German during a conversation
with yesterday and assured that it cost $40-45 thousand
and not ~@100-300 thousand.

Let us remind that the issue of the Foreign Minister’s luxurious car
was raised by the Armenian National Congress (ANC) MP Nikol Pashinyan.

Mr. Pashinyan said regarding the minister’s denial during a
conversation with us today, “I am a member of the National Assembly,
I have participated in the meeting of the foreign relations committee,
I asked an official question during a joint meeting of the committee on

finance and budget, I got an official answer. The representative of the
deputy minister was sitting right behind me, Shavarsh Kocharyan applied
to him, the woman answered that it was a present from a German. Now,
I don’t care what Eduard Nalbandyan said in other places, I care
about the information I have from official sources.”

The Foreign Minister also said that there were shameless speculations
about his car. In Nikol Pashinyan’s words, “I suggest that Eduard
Nalbandyan use the word ‘shameless’ more carefully.”

As for the price of the car, Nikol Pashinyan said that he had made
a statement for journalists that day and he stuck to his words.

Finally, Nikol Pashinyan added, “Let the Foreign Minister give
explanation why the Republic of Armenia didn’t have an ambassador in
Hungary at the climax of negotiations on Safarov’s extradition.”
