The Curious Case of the Sister Misses

Miss Armenia 2001


Miss Armenia 2003

Remember the the recent post about Miss Armenia 1998? Before I make any blog entry, I do a quick research to make sure I know what I'm talking about. At first, I planned to cover all the girls that have become Miss Armenias, but decided not to when I noticed a lack of high-quality pictures. Oh, but there was something else, as well.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Miss Armenia 2001 is named Irina Tovmasyan; Miss Armenia 2003 is named Lusine Tovmasyan. If you haven't guessed already, they are sisters. However, the leader of the Armenian Communist Party is named Ruben Tovmasyan. Coincidence? Let's make some connections:

I love Armenian girls: they are pretty. Of course, the prettiest is my beautiful girlfriend, but that's besides the point. Two sisters, winning Miss Armenia two years apart, neither jumping out at me as being extraordinarily beautiful, and being connected - possibly as grand-daughters - to the ruler of Armenia's Communist Party. Call me paranoid, but the likelihood of the Tovmasian Sisters having both the luck and the beauty - and a few other things - to become Miss Armenia within two years of each other is simply not possible.

Obvious? Maybe! But it's even juicier with the facts, isn't it?

Communist Party Leader Claims Record Number of Voters

Looks like Gagik "Dodi Gago" Tsarukian is being left in the dust by Armenia's Communist Party Hayastani Komunistakan Kusaktsutyun (HKK)! Well, let's see how and why:

Ruben Tovmasian [the leader of HKK] said his party received proposals of forming alliances from some opposition forces, but added, " We need not to form alliances as our electorate will not betray us."

Mr. Tovmasian claimed that 530,000 pensioners, "who fought for the Communist Party and continue to trust it, will give their ballots to it. Our ultimate goal is to go to parliament and to present to the Armenian nation our lofty ideas and give it a chance to make their choice," he said.

"I am not saying that Armenia must sacrifice its independence, but we think that a union of all former Soviet republics should be made, void of all previous mistakes," he concluded.

So not only do they claim 530,000 pensioners, but they are so confident in their said claims that they will disregard any alliance proposals! Do keep in mind that this is most likely the communist propaganda at play. Why? Because in the link above, they had only claimed 40,000 voters and according to 2003 elections, they had just over 18,000 supporters.

I suppose it is possible to go from 18,000 to 530,000 supporters - who are mostly pensioners, by the way - but is it likely? I think it's a bluff, but I could be wrong.
