With my daughter Kiti.
In 1998 I was playing in the Linares Open tournament. One day I bought some food and among other things there was some canned fish. In the evening, a very young Levon Aronian entered my room. He picked up the tin, and seeing the logo of the manufacturer - a tiny kitten - he asserted - with a healthy laughter - that it was a food for cats. Although he knew that it was not so, Levon nevertheless made fun of me during the whole tournament.
"Well, have you eaten 'Whiskas' today?"
Or:
"The store still has food for cats?"
His laughter was contagious and made me laugh along. Six years later my daughter was born. One day I met Levon:
"Congratulations, Ashot! How did you name your little girl?"
"Her name is Kiti."
"See? I told you it was 'Whiskas'!"

I like this Ashot. I did not realize you have a fantastic sense of humour and with which I thought only Englishmen possesses. Great stuff.
