The only person who I respect in the ARF bureau, and who I think should have more influence on the ARF, because unlike the majority of its leaders, Papazian is level-headed and actually successful.
This guy created an organization in France that united all Armenian political entities in the country to have a common front (CCAF: https://armenpress.am/en/article/1057996). Which has greatly served the community, has united the community in many ways. Successful and educated entrepreneur who owns one of the biggest media schools in France.
After being banned by the Pashinyan administration over the premise that Mourad was conspiring against him, the ban was lifted back in January by court decision. https://www.azatutyun.am/a/32791645.html.
Pashinyan and Papazian had personal issues that occured when Pashinyan’s wife visited France (as I’ve heard personally from Papazian during dinner).
