"RA Ambassadors accredited abroad are very rare to organize costly events, only if necessary, for Armenia's Independence Day.
Our ambassadors typically use the financial and other support of the local Armenian community.
In this regard, RA Ambassador to Russia Gurgen Arsenyan differs from other ambassadors, because it is not a poor man, he has some financial resources that spend during his activity.
We learned that several winners have recently taken Moscow to Moscow, and the Ambassador tried to support the advancement of Armenian wine. He invited the ambassadors of about 20 countries accredited to Russia.
Naturally, there were not only wine, they were given an Armenian table, honored to the ambassadors, to show the taste of our wine and brandy. But no mention of that event has been made on the Embassy's website.
It was considered that the event was private, no money was written from the budget, and it could not be entered into the territory of the ambassador. "
