    Armenia's first real porn scandal as it were...


    Armenian actress Anjela Sargsian, best known for her appearances in
    "Kargin Serial" (Proper Soap Opera) and "Ur e im tghamardy" (Where's
    my man) TV series broadcast by Armenia TV, has come under fire
    recently following the publication of her pornographic photos on
    Odnoklassniki social network, which were later published on
    www.anjelasargsyan.com until that site went down reaching bandwidth
    limit.

    The photos which I have seen, show the actress having oral sex or
    posing nude with a rather satisfied and happy face. After their
    emergency, they unexpectedly became the most discussed topic on the
    Armenian online news websites, social networks and even some
    newspapers.

    Anjela Sargsyan, 28, is married for 9 years, has a child. Her husband,
    a Philosophy lecturer at Yerevan State University, is said to have
    left her after finding out she was cheating on him.

    Karen Arayan, an artist, claims to be Anjela Sargsyan's sex partner in
    the pornographic photos in question.

    Anjela Sargsyan claims that Arayan has published the photos on the
    social networks in revenge for her dumping her. Karen Arayan, however,
    tells a completely different story, calling Sargsyan "crazy" and
    depicting her as an immoral and unsatiable bitch and saying he just
    wanted to "show her true face" to their common friends and it wasn't
    meant for wide public.

    The whole situation got further complicated after rumors, that Armenia
    TV had decided to fire the actress. Also, her co-starring actresses
    from "Ur e im tghamardy" series came out with rather rough statements
    and went as far as saying they can't continue to work with her. It
    also emerged, that Anjela Sargsian is a member of the "Word of Life"
    church, which is treated as a sect by Armenia's mainstream Apostolic
    Church and some grabbed the chance of throwing a stone or two at the
    religious minority.

    Heated debates in Facebook have given birth to groups condemning and
    supporting Anjela Sargsian.

    The whole story was blown up incredibly and Armenia had its first
    full-scale porn scandal. It also revealed the inability of the
    Armenian media to cope with stories like this adequately - some gave
    way too much coverage while others chose to completely censor the
    issue. So far, this video by ArmComedy is the piece with the right
    attitude that I've seen on the Armenian blogosphere and media covering
    the topic. Great job, guys!

    PS: Just to bring my two cents - I think this whole affair is nobody's
    business and I don't think the actress should be fired over a personal
    matter. I also think the society overall and Anjela Sargsian's
    colleagues were not right with their condemnation, which I attribute
    mostly to envy... get a grip, dear everyone, or get over it!!!
