Alen Simonyan Talks About His Engagement with Anelya Gubryan

The dinner bill amounted to 325,840 drams, which I paid with my card using my personal funds, as I always do. This was stated by the President of the National Assembly of Armenia, Alen Simonyan, while discussing his engagement with Anelya Gubryan.

“Some people love to gossip and live off others’ lives, lying, lying, lying, and trying to feel important. Yes, on February 28, I invited my chosen one and her parents to a restaurant so that we could introduce our parents and family members. There were 11 of us—mother, father, grandmothers, brother, and brother's wife, and besides family members, no one else was invited. We sat in a common hall, next to us were two other tables with strangers. The evening was spent in a warm atmosphere; we even laughed at the gossip, nonsense, and lies being spread about us. We exchanged inexpensive, symbolic gifts. There were no decorations in the hall or anywhere else—the circulated video with flowers and decor has nothing to do with us and is some sort of promotional clip. The dinner bill amounted to 325,840 drams (I have the receipt) and I paid it with my card using my personal funds, as I always do. We know everything about each other, we love each other, we are happy, and we wish the same for all of you. Focus on your own lives and your own affairs,” wrote the President of the National Assembly of Armenia, Alen Simonyan.
