The visit of the Belarusian dictator to Armenia in reality has become a continuation of his vacation, which started in Serbia at Kopaonik resort. Now Lukashenka is skiing in the town of Tsakhadzor.
But president’s servants have drawn certain conclusions from the visit to Kopaonik, and the visit to the mountain resort of Tsakhadzor was masked more carefully.
As we have informed, Lukashenka visited Serbia almost anonymously. In the airport of Niš he was met in fact like a private citizen, without any solemnities like honourable guard.
In the Armenian airport Zvatrnotz Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan personally came to the ramp when the leader of the Belarusian state came out of the plane with his youngest son Nikolay and bread and salt where presented to them. A short conversation of Lukashenka and Sargsyan took place in the airport. Since that time it was the only conversation of the “working” nature of the visit to Armenia.
As “Belorusskiye novosti” has found out, directly from Yerevan Lukashenka went to the town of Tsakhadzor, 55 km from the Armenian capital. He stayed in five-star hotel complex Multi Rest House. He plans to stay there till Sunday. At least, the rooms for Belarusian guests had been reserved till March 15.
Guests of Multi Rest House which opened about two years ago, are offered not only comfortable rooms, but also two- and three-storey VIP-cottages, characterized by a bathroom in each bedroom.
Multi Rest House has been chosen not by accident. It is not just the newest and most modern hotel of the resort, it is ideal for active rest lovers, to whom the Belarusian president belongs. There is a fitness-room, sauna, pool, football and basketball grounds, tennis grounds and billiard room in the hotel. Besides, the hotel is proud of its playground for children.
A little Armenian town of Tsakhadzor is well-known as a ski resort. It is mostly visited from December to April, when three is snow there. There are 5 levels of hills’ difficulty, so the resort is good both for inexperienced and skillful sportsmen.
The hotel complex Multi Rest House is situated almost in the centre of Tsakhadzor, with a 5-minute trip in a car from funicular and skiing courses. But most guests prefer to walk and enjoy local sceneries.
By the way, the press-service of Armenian president does not have information whether Lukashenka and Sargsyan are to meet again. According to the spokesperson of the Belarusian president, Pavel Lyohki, Lukashenka to return to Minsk “not earlier than tomorrow”. “There still will be meetings in Armenia,” he noted.
As previously informed by the press-service of Lukashenka, the program of the visit includes meetings of Lukashenka with the leadership of Armenia and representatives of business circles.
