Pored predstavnika armenske dijaspore u Turskoj, armenske vjerske vođe i vladini zvaničnici, među kojima i zamjenik ministra vanjskih poslova Arman Kirakossian, također su prisustvovali pogrebu na zvanični poziv Ankare, koja nema diplomatske odnose s Jerevanom.
Besides representatives of Turkey's Armenian diaspora, Armenian religious leaders and government officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian, also attended the funeral following an official invitation by Ankara, which has no diplomatic relations with Yerevan.
