    Former Armenian president marks 60th birthday

    31 August 2014 - 12:45pm

    Former Armenian president Robert Kocharyan marks his 60th birthday
    today. On the threshold of this jubilee Kocharyan granted an interview
    to the Noah's Ark newspaper, during which he noted that he did not
    rule out a possible return to power.

    Now the former president is doing business, surfing, hunting, skiing
    and reading.

    According to Kocharyan, one of best books he read in the recent past
    was "Why Nations Fail" by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson.

    Daron Acemoglu is a Turkish-American economist from the Massachusetts
    Institute of Technology. James Robinson is political scientist from
    Harvard University. Their book applies insights from institutional
    economics, development economics and economic history to answer why
    nations develop differently, with some succeeding in the accumulation
    of power and prosperity, while others fail.

    Robert Kocharyan is believed to be an Armenian nationalist, who once
    said that Armenians have nothing to do with "Transcaucasian Turks".
