- Your hat trick somehow became the hope of your fans. Isn’t it hard to play under such conditions?

- I have already forgotten about it. Right upon the end of the game I began thinking about the next match. My goals are not miracles, it is my job.

- What does Spartak need to achieve more success?

- Spartak needs stable game. During the last years many changes have been made in the team and the coach headquarters. I am certain now that with this team we will succeed.

- By now one of your best achievements is the title of the America’s Champion. You have got medals.

- Not only medals, but also some rings. We were hosted at the White House. I had a conversation with the US President Obama and I am astonished at his sense of humor.

- Would you like to play in the US Championship?

- I have such an opportunity. I want to play in Europe as well.

- Do you feel to be an Armenian or an American?

- Certainly, I am Armenian. I think like an Armenian, but I live like an American. I think in Armenian and communicate with the members of my family in this language.
