“Of course a woman could be a good president, but at this point we have no adequate female presidential candidate. I do hope an appropriate candidate will be found amongst our generation. The woman president would succeed in Armenia, since women are stable, have a flexible mindset and act more diplomatically; they are able to find management correct paths.”

“I do respect women, but I think they can’t rule the country. It is a very serious and responsible task linked with complications.”
