“Serj Tankian’s country is the United States, and Arsine Khanjyan’s country is Canada. They pay taxes there, give concerts, and make a living for themselves. That is their country, and they treat Armenia as a tourist zone,” said animator Davit Sahakyants at the Hayeli press club on January 14, referring to Serj Tankian’s recent post where the world-famous musician wrote about the soldier who was killed and called for sanctions against Azerbaijan.

He described the incident as a result of Aliyev’s selfishness. Davit Sahakyants considers the visits of Serj Tankian, Arsine Khanjyan, and others to Armenia, their participation in festivals and concerts, and receiving RA passports from different leaders several times to be just for show. “Now is the time that Serj Tankian is not as he was in the past, SOAD is not either, and their musical quality is decreasing, so they had to do some PR… He used to be at the forefront of fighting for the Armenian Genocide and the Armenian Cause in the United States. It is interesting if Ruben Rubinyan comes tomorrow and says that this is the condition, we should renounce the genocide, then who will be to blame for Tankian, Aliyev and Erdogan again? If you say A, say B too, or else you hide your sins under a name. In this case, he chose Aliyev and believes that only Aliyev is to blame for everything that is happening. In fact, Aliyev was given an opportunity, and a condition was created for him to do what he is doing. And the creator of the condition is the very government that you support and have helped to come to power,” said the animator.
