Andrey Avetisyan russian emabassador to afghanistan(Pashto interview)

[afghan]

Andrey Avetisyan: This is the best weapon you can choose in any kind of war — development — because what Afghanistan needed then and what Afghanistan still needs now is development, not fighting. I wouldn't call this situation, the international situation, around Afghanistan in the '60s, a Cold War. It was competition, healthy competition. And both sides, the Soviet Union and the U.S.A., tried their best to help these people, to show them that their way of development, social system, was better. And that was the competition, the fighting that could have done something to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, it stopped later then, but in the '60s, it was golden time for Afghanistan.

he speaks beautiful pashto alot better than most of the so called afghan officials.

^Its sounds so weird when a Russsian is talking like he is a nice person :P

[Tjanaparh]

He seems at least partly to have armenian origin, but on the russian embassy page in kabul under the languages he knows armenian doesnt figure out.
However Avetisyan is a typical armenian surname

[Khostai]

^Ow that explains a lot

[Tjanaparh]

I didn't know about him, who he really is, it is first time i hear his name. He must be some russified Armenian, as his name isn't normally used in Armenia, plus his strong russian accent, plus perhaps he dosen't speak armenian according to the page of Russan embassy.
An Armenian would never pronounce the word "Zmong" in the way he did, if he would be fluent in Armenian.
