 In her view, the change of power in Armenia should not happen through “Sasna Tsrer” group, but through the call of the people.

“In fact, today, people are no longer afraid. Even if the police intimidate people, they are not ready to be afraid anymore. They are trying to become a party to the changes like our heroes,” she said.

Asked whether her husband famous director Atom Egoyan shared her political views, the actress stressed: “Of course. For him it is quite clear that there is a big problem in this country, and it is our duty to become a party to the developments. Up to now we have been focused on cultural field.”
