ArmInfo. "I have no information regarding the ban on Margarita Simonyan's entry into Armenia," Speaker of the RA National Assembly Alen Simonyan told journalists on October 26.
At the same time, he pointed to the fact that not only Margarita Simonyan herself and her husband, but also many other persons with Armenian surnames, very often demonstrate a dismissive attitude towards the Republic of Armenia. "Having become agents and mankurts of other states these people are dismissive of the Armenia's independence as well," the NA President noted.
Alen Simonyan did not want to delve into this topic, noting only that in the course of meetings with the former leaders of Armenia, these persons spoke frankly and directly about this. <By the way, opposition colleagues are trying to protect these people. Perhaps one day I will get angry and tell you what they talked about in private conversations. I am sure that they will not like it, and I just advise them to protect them less>, the speaker said.
Margarita Simonyan made a note in her telegram channel, according to which she and the member of the Russian parliament were banned from entering Armenia. "Konstantin Zatulin, who has been fiercely supporting Armenia for many years, was banned by the current head of Armenia from entering Armenia. By the way, so am I," Simonyan wrote.
