Armen Sarkissian

Armen Sarkissian has one of the most improbable resumes I have ever encountered. A physicist trained at Yerevan State University who became a diplomat, an entrepreneur, a computer scientist, and ultimately the fourth president of Armenia, with a stint as prime minister back in the 1990s. As the first post-Soviet president born in the Armenian SSR, he carries real historical weight. I am genuinely impressed by people who refuse a single label and try to govern through intellect rather than mere ambition. Bridging the worlds of science and statecraft demands rare courage, and his sheer range commands my respect.
