His main focus is articles concerning Armenian antiquity, which he attempts to distort in accordance with his nationalist bias. Since patience ran out with his continual edit-warring, misrepresentation of sources and POV-pushing he has used hundreds sockpuppets, both new accounts and IPs, to circumvent his ban: see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ararat arev and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ararat arev.
