“Robert Kocharyan as he is”: a film about a life’s journey, guiding principles, and vision for the future

We present a documentary film revealing vivid episodes from the life and public service of Robert Kocharyan, first president of Artsakh and second president of Armenia, a man whose name is associated with the victory of Artsakh and the strengthening of Armenia.

“Robert Kocharyan as he is” offers a chance to see President Kocharyan in a new light. It traces his path from childhood and family roots, through his years in Artsakh, to leading Armenia; from close friendships and dealings with the leaders of other countries to concrete plans for the future.

This is not merely a biographical account, but a candid conversation about the principles that guided this statesman throughout his life, especially during decisive moments. Principles never abandoned, and responsibility never shed.

A special place in the film is given to the years of his presidency: economic growth and state-building, questions of security and defence, the making of fateful decisions, and standing up to challenges. How does one face trials head-on and preserve the foundations of statehood? What role did Robert Kocharyan play at turning points in history?

Watch and discover President Robert Kocharyan as he truly is.
