Anyway, I don't know what kind of political games they've started playing with Armenians at Sheremetyevo Airport,

but I just went up to passport control, she asks where I'm flying, and I say, to Yerevan.

And her attitude completely changed, she instantly became so hostile, and she goes, "What is the purpose of your trip?"

I say, "Well, I live in Yerevan now."

She tells me, "Give me your passport."

I give her my second Armenian, I give her my second Armenian passport.

She looked at it and goes, "You know, right, that the second passport will now be confiscated?"

"If your second passport is Armenian."

"Like, if the second passport is Armenian, we will confiscate the Russian one."

I say, "On what grounds are you going to confiscate it?"

She goes, "That's just how it is."

Then, after some time, for some reason she changed her story and started saying,

that only the Russian passport will be kept and the Armenian one will be seized.

I ask her, on what grounds, why on earth would they take my passport?

She's like, "That's how it is, it'll happen soon."

This is because your Nikolay Kashinyan is applying to the EU.

I say, "Well, he's applying, but he hasn't actually applied yet."

Our relations with Russia are good, everything is fine.

She's like, "We'll wait and see."

I'm sitting there listening to this and thinking, like, do they even interview people

who work at passport control?

Or were they specifically told to talk to Armenians in such a tone?
