Then go Gagik Tsarukyan, leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party (3.7), Naira Zohrabyan (3.7), Levon Ter-Petrosyan (3.6). The following politicians proved at the bottom of the list: Heghine Bisharyan, Secretary of Orinats Yerkir Party (2.3), Arthur Baghdasaryan, Leader of Orinats Yerkir Party (2.2), and Robert Kocharyan, the second president of Armenia (2.2).
