Armen Ashotyan: I am Santa Claus
16:33 / 12/31/2009RA Minister of Education and Science Armen Ashotyan
plans to see the New Year in with his family in Armenia.
`Only once in my life, when a student, I was absent from Armenia
during the New Year holidays. I was in Marseilles and had no money to
buy an air ticket,’ Ashotyan told NEWS.am. The Minister likes to see
pakhlava (a kind of oriental biscuit with nuts) on the New Year table.
Ashotyan does not believe in Santa Claus. `At my age I myself am Santa
Claus for my family,’ he said.
