Weeks and months pass, but Lapshin still faces the same problem: a lack of income. It seems Armenian sponsors have stopped paying as well, so the individual has resorted to trying to shake down his Armenian followers.

He spins tales about preparing for trips that will supposedly rally the world to support Yerevan. But for this grand endeavor, Lapshin just needs a little more — a bit of money for tickets and hotels.

Lapshin then asks Armenians to contribute for these basic needs. Without hesitation, he requests not even a dollar, but simply some drama to be donated!

At this rate, he'll soon be working for food.
