she’s gorgeous! I’m glad we have Armenian back in the game. I might dislike the whole idea of beauty pageants, but seeing Armenia missing from the world pageants has been rather sad.

I may dislike beauty pageants as a whole, but I’m happy to see Armenia’s back in the game and on the map (should we take part in Miss World/Universe)
I was always kind of proud we did not take part in those beauty contests. I believed, we do not fall for that showcase of shallowness.
But oh well…
While the shallowness of these kind of contests is repugnant, I realize that a win here can be a springboard for a successful career in show business. As for the winner, there is a marked difference between the class she shows versus the majority of the other contestants.
