Sports: Khachanov says he looks forward to opportunity to visit Armenia

Karen Khachanov, a Russian tennis player with Armenian roots, took to his Instagram page to answer some questions from his followers.

Asked how often does he visit Armenia, Khachanov noted that he has been there several times and look forward to the opportunity to visit Armenia.

By the way, back in 2018, Karen Khachanov said in an interview with NEWS.am Sport that he was born and raised in Russia, but has always had a close connection with Armenia and loves Armenia very much.

“I was born in Moscow, but I have both Armenian roots on my father’s and mother’s side. My grandfather was born and lived part of his life in Yerevan, and then moved his family to Moscow. My grandfather on the maternal side also had Armenian roots,” he said.

Tennis season has been suspended and will resume no earlier than July amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
