Viva-MTS has circulated a denial, which reads:

“The information circulated by the media since early this morning that Viva-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian is going to enter politics, both before and now, does not correspond to reality.

We reaffirm once again that Ralph Yirikian has never been involved in politics in any format, and he will not enter politics in the future as well.

Ralph Yirikian personally and Viva-MTS have officially stated this many times in interviews, as well as in response to various publications and journalistic inquiries.”
