The woman, married to a Chinese man and quickly learning Chinese language, in a short time became the village mayor of her husband’s birthplace. According to the governor, the village has a population of 3 million. One of the journalists, after hearing this story, responded as follows, “In fact, Martuni resident has the status of Serzh Sargsyan in China, she is Serzh Sargsyan of China.” Though people in Marzpetaran were talking about this woman from Martuni in pride, however, they don’t remember her name, as well as the name of the site in China. They just know that this woman is merchant and led a active trade in China, in the end, she moved and settled in China, becoming a village mayor. And as to what Chinese village this woman is the head, we’ll try to find out soon.
