US Embassy comments on Vartan Ayvazyan

We asked the US Embassy in Armenia whether they would issue a visa to Vartan Ayvazyan, MP and head of the standing committee on economic affairs, in consideration of the disputed case and the enforcement order issued by New York court on September 6 obligate Ayvazyan to pay $37,5 million. In answer to our question we received a written letter from the US Embassy in Armenia reading the following:

“We do not discuss separate visa applications, however decisions are made only after filing an application and interview.” In answer to another question whether the decision of the American court could have impact on citizens of Armenia they answered that the US Embassy in Armenia does not comment on legal proceedings on the part of American courts.
