    IS TIMOSHENKO REALLY ARMENIAN?


    27.12.2004 15:10

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ During the press conference held on December 26 "an
    Azeri journalist with horror asked Yulia Timoshenko whether she
    really has Armenian roots". According to the rumors, Timoshenko's
    maiden name is Gregian (short from Grigorian). Timoshenko herself
    refuted the hearsay stating that " she is Latvian by father and
    Ukrainian by mother", Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper writes. With an
    odd regularity all the recent revolutionists including Saakashvili
    and Timoshenko "are suspected" of having Armenian roots. However,
    they themselves deny such suppositions. The exception was Z. Zhvania,
    who said he is Armenian by mother. To complete the picture let us
    note that the first Armenian mentioned in the historical sources was
    Khaldita. As Persian King Darius I informs in his notes, our smart
    compatriot posing as the King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar launched a
    revolution to overthrow the Persian dominion. According to the data
    available, he was also asserting he is not Armenian. It seems to
    become a tradition...
