On women, but not on femininity
Man: "No woman is uncontrollable"
Member of the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) Hovhannes Sahakyan and member of the Prosperous Party of Armenia (BHK) Vahe Enfiajyan entered the press conference hall with flowers. The first personally handed out flowers to the female journalists, while the other handed the flowers through his assistant.
The first personally congratulated the journalists, while the second congratulated them through his assistant. The deputies had come to the "Post Scriptum" Press Club to debate over the topic "Men on Women". "Armenian women have a great advantage," the HHK MP said.
"A1+" asked if the deputies' wives gave them any advice.
"I try not to bring the political tension to my family," BHK member Vahe Enfiajyan said.
Hovhannes Sahakyan said his wife was more concerned about the articles about her husband in the presses, but she can't give him advise him to leave politics behind.
"There are no uncontrollable women, but there are governing men," Sahakyan added.
Woman: "Women have the potential"
ARF-D member Ruzan Arakelyan and "Heritage" Party member Karine Atchemyan entered the press conference hall empty-handed.
"We are surrounded by flowers today," Karine Atchemyan said. Member of the "Country of Law" Party (OEK) Heghine Bisharyan had brought white roses for the female journalists. She asked television cameramen to take beautiful shots of women as much as possible today. The two deputies had come to the "Post Scriptum" Press Club to speak about "Women on Women". ARF-D member Ruzan Arakelyan recalled the women who had educated their sons "who laid their lives on the line for the homeland".
"There are women with potential," Karine Atchemyan added.
Ruzan Arakelyan noted that people have different perceptions of women and called on journalists to not politicize the gender issue.
"Why shouldn't we politicize the issue," Heghine Bisharyan asked, surprised.
"We shouldn't politicize it because that is humiliating. Ninety percent of school principles are women," the ARF-D MP said, to which Bisharyan said it was bad that there were no men principals.
The dispute ended with a question on gifts and they recalled the precious gifts that they remembered receiving. The OEK MP recalled the coat that her father had given her, while Ruzan Arakelyan recalled the book of fairy tales by Hovhannes Tumanyan.
