    Armenia's Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan performed the wrong song at
    his meeting with the young people at the Miasin (Together) movement's
    camp.

    He should have sung the `Song about rabbits', with its `We don't
    care!' refrain, opposition politician Gurgen Yeghiazaryan told
    Tert.am.

    (Note: The metaphorical `Song about rabbits' in the 1968 Soviet comedy
    film `The Diamond Arm', by film director Leonid Gaidai, became a
    popular song during the late 1960s. It tells the story of a group of
    personified rabbits harvesting grass at night and proclaiming that
    they are not afraid of any predators, be they wolves or owls. The
    rabbits boldly sing a refrain that can be roughly translated as `We
    don't care!').

    `Does he sing to conceal his and Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan's true
    nature? He sung the wrong song for us to forget his own saying: `what
    can we do? Shall we let a revolution be carried out in this
    country?',' Yeghiazaryan said.

    `Tigran Sargsyan is not only an untalented economist, but also an
    untalented musician,' he added.

    In contrast to Yeghiazaryan, Heritage party Vice-Chairman Armen
    Martirosyan liked the Armenian premier's performance.

    `I commend a spiritually rich political figure who is not remote from
    art and love for the beautiful,' he said.

    The reason why Armenia's premier sang `Barov ekar, sirun krunk' (You
    are welcome, dear crane) is that he received his higher education in
    Saint Petersburg.

    `He must have loved this song when a student,' Martirosyan said.

    Leva Khachatryan, a Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) parliamentary group
    member, did not hear the Armenian premier singing. However, talking to
    Tert.am he said: `And he dares sing after what has happened!'
