Geopolitical discussions interrupted: Khachaturian’s unfortunate moment in Athens

During a diplomatic event in Athens, Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturian brought an unexpectedly human touch to the proceedings. While his Greek counterpart spoke of enduring friendship, President Khachaturian gently reminded the audience of a more immediate concern: the delegates’ need for refreshments.

Addressing the room with candor, he remarked, “Shall I begin speaking? These distinguished guests have been waiting for food.” His words, delivered with humor and sincerity, highlighted the human side of high-level diplomacy, earning quiet appreciation from attendees who could relate to the simple challenge of maintaining focus on an empty stomach.
