Ararat Mirzoyan, who is in Washington, was about 30 minutes late for meeting with US Senator Menendez.
Another senator, Republican Rich, who was also due to attend the meeting, was upset after waiting 20 minutes and wanted to leave, but was asked to wait a little longer.
The senators were annoyed not only by the delay, but also by the fact that no warning was given for the delay.

Even Biden does not make a figure of Menendez’s caliber, a great friend of Armenians like him, wait. I will not be surprised if the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee does not want to communicate with the Armenian delegations from now on.
By the way, this is not the first scandal related to Menendez. In 2020, MP Makunts had requested an urgent meeting with Menendez, but as the community press later wrote, the sole purpose of the meeting was to have a joint photo.
