PM Karapetyan reveals Rock 'n' Roll past in interview

YEREVAN, JANUARY 25, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan commented on an online footage, which went viral upon release, where he was playing the drums. In an interview to the multinational MIR 24 TV, the Prime Minister said the video was shot in Nagorno Karabakh, during a meeting with friends.

Karapetyan said the tremendously talented youth from the “Children of Artsakh” music band were also present at the meeting, and he experienced a musical creative outburst.

“I didn’t imagine that the footage will ever appear. I didn’t learn to play anywhere, I just played in a rock band back when I was young. I don’t play anymore, I don’t have great experience, I would like to play but I don’t get the chance”, the PM said.

Asked what he likes to do in his spare time, Karapetyan mentioned he has become a very boring man during the last 4 months, he doesn’t even get the time for reading.

“Currently I am in either one of the two conditions – either at work or in bed, trying to sleep. But I will correct that”, Karapetyan said.
