Russia refused to approve the nomination of Armenia's new ambassador - "Harpark" Russia refused to approve the appointment of the former Armenian ambassador to Poland, Sambel Makratchian, to the position of ambassador in Moscow, writes the "Harpark" newspaper, citing its source. According to the newspaper, precisely because of the refusal of the Russian side, the planned replacement of the current ambassador Gorgan Arsenian did not come to fruition. There is no official confirmation of this information. The newspaper suggests that the refusal to approve McCarthyan's candidacy may be related to his many years of diplomatic work in European countries.
