How Well Do You Know Armenian Politicians?

I see that you're having fun guessing city names. Maybe you'll enjoy this one too! :)

 

The following is a section of a larger picture showing World Leaders gathered to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Defeat of Nazi Germany.

There are THREE Armenians - not necessarily representing Armenia - in the picture. One of them is obvious, can you name the other two?

 

As a bonus, you can - of course - try to guess the location!!!

Well, the most obvious is the ex-French Prime Minister Edward Baladeur (not sure about the spelling), next to Helmut Koll.

 

The rest I give up. :)

Yes, the easier of the two remaining ones is Edouard Balladur.

Hint: he's from the Diaspora!

 

Keep on trying! :)

I still wonder who is the third one besides Edouard Balladur and Levon Der-Petrossian?

Hint: read the text carefully, it MAY help you! I know, it can be tricky! :)

 

 

Gamavor, the third one is to the left from Levon Ter-Petrossian  :)

Hmm... are you saying the Duke of Edinburg is Armenian? He has a large nose, that's a possibility I guess :)

No, I'm not saying that Duke of Edinburg is Armenian!

As for the nose, a good indicator! :)

Unfortunately, only Edouard Balladur is looking the other way to make sure that his Armenian nose is properly photographed! :)

 

Also, his name ends with "ian" and, to make it easier, let me add that his first name is Claude!

well

 

I once saw a documentary about a french-armenian who was a presence to major political gatherings. I don't know what his job or position was but apparently he enjoyed participating to such ceremonies by sneaking in or using a connection. He was often in group pictures with renowned world leaders despite the fact the fact taht he had nothing to do there! I don't remember his name or face but maybe he is the guy standing second to the left of ter petrosian (from ter petrosian's point of vue), the guy standing next to the black guy!

 

Other than that, I don't know

We have a winner! That is close enough!

 

As I explained to Gamavor:

In fact, the text said:

Claude Khazizian, is an "impostor" who - on many occasions - managed to sneak into the Elysee - the French Presidential Palace. More often than most Diplomats! :)

It seems that he once managed to sneak into the Elysee - on Bastille's Day - with a hidden camera to shoot for an episode of "La preuve par l'image," a TV program on France 2 - a French TV channel.

Claude Khazizian is not in Politics. He does it for fun!

 

For the record, it seems that he had a friendly chat with LTP the day the picture was taken!

 

Of course, the second prize goes to Armen! Congratulations! :)

Gamavor, the third one is to the left from Levon Ter-Petrossian  :)

So then, are you going to identify which one he is? (This Khazizian imposter fellow, that is...)

Vava,

I should have a little more explicit! Sorry! :)

Aaron did identify our "impostor." Yes, he's the one standing next to the African Diplomat!

He chose for himself a highly strategic spot, dominating both Jacques Chirac and late and respectable Francois Mitterand - my favorite French President!
