Why Did Alen Simonian Meet with Vigen Badalyan, Founder of Vivaro Group?

According to 168.am, recently, Vice Speaker of the National Assembly Alen Simonian met with businessman Vigen Badalyan, the founder of the Vivaro Group betting company, at a restaurant complex in Yerevan.

We tried to clarify with the Vice Speaker what issues were discussed during the meeting, especially since the parliament was discussing the bill on Amendments to the Law on Gambling presented by MPs Alen Simonian, Sipan Pashinyan, and Naira Zohrabyan for the second reading and complete approval. After the first reading, the proposed amendments were presented by the main rapporteur Alen Simonian, who noted that some of them were accepted.

We particularly tried to clarify whether the meeting was in the context of common business interests or not. "Without comment. My personal life is nobody's business," the Vice Speaker sharply responded, not denying our information.
