The second president’s unofficial website made public what books Robert Kocharyan had read during the past 2-3 years – Robert Cooper’s “The Breaking of Nations,” James Risen’s “State of War,” Harvard Business School’s “Taking Control of Your Time,” Steven Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” etc. Today www.aravot.am inquired of karateka Taron Abrahamyan and Robert Aharonyan who had announced their candidacies for president and had withdrawn them what books they had read in recent years, and which one had been the last book they had read. Robert Aharonyan replied: “I always read and reread Lenin’s and Stalin’s works, and I don’t manage
to read fiction yet, because I don’t have enough time. Reading Lenin and Stalin, you can find many new things, you can find a way of struggle against capitalism, so you have no time to read something else.”
Taron Abrahamyan said that he had read a professional book about multiplying a person’s internal and external abilities. “The book was written by my friend. It is also the subject of his dissertation – the highest abilities of a person. So I try to understand in the martial art, where a person can kill a person, neutralize at a distance, what new methods he uses, except for hypnosis and language. And I realized that he is a real scientist. I read professional literature, also ‘Beyond the Window,’ books about intelligence and anti-terrorism to be able to see what happens beyond. Mainly professional, because I am too old to read fiction.”
