Ashot, no offence but the list of "Armenian" politicians is the list of Armenian failures. Very few are Armenian anyway so what is so great about politicians?

 

Few examples: Mikoyan - communist, Basils I and II destroyed Armenia (both being Byzantine emperors), Benon Sevan was accused of not so clean dealings with Afganistan and Iraq UN sacntions, Loris Melikov was Russian general (true of Armenian offspring) but Russian statesman, who led Russian military, campaign in Caucasus, Zurab (Zohrab) Zhvania was Georgian, etc. etc.. nothing Armenian about them let alone "famous".
