RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs press spokesperson Tigran Balayan considered media reports that Armenian delegation members participated in revelries in one of the hotels during Nov. 19\u201320 NATO summit in Lisbon to be “absurd.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“That is so absurd that it needs not only no comments, but also no need for denying,” he said, speaking to Epress.am.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier, Georgian media, citing the Portuguese press, had said that a Georgian delegation had hired 80 sex workers and some Armenian delegates had joined in the revelry at the hotel where they were staying. Further, the reports say that upon receiving complaints from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, hotel staff had to call in the police.<\/p>\n
