Mayor Fedya Ohanyan (Ֆեդյա Օհանյան ♂) is hospitable, and has space for 3 guests. Neighbors have space for over 10 guests. Clean house on the edge of the village, has an indoor toilet. Fedya is a descendant of Hasan Jalalyan.
Fedya is married with 2 adult children. His son is married and his wife and baby also live with them. Their house seems like it's always filled with visitors. One visitor in particular is a gem. He has a head the size of 5 cantaloupes and a booming ridiculously loud voice that has raised the dead. He loves to drink and be photographed in various poses. If you ever stop by Fedya's, be sure to ask for the large man with the large head and the large voice. You won't be disappointed.
