There is nothing in this article about any possible motives for his actions. Does anyone know anything about this? Academic Challenger 23:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Exactly what I was thinking. I just found out about this assassination attempt but every article I've read completely ignores why the attempt was made. That's some very important missing information. 142.161.78.154 23:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I mean no offense, but I think killing the president is motivation enough. Like what is one of the motivation for writing a best selling novel? Fame of course! So killing the president is sort of motivation enough. And also he thought he could do it. JayKeaton 05:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

How sad that some people accept a presidential assasination plot as being such an insignificant thing that doesn't deserve more investigation. "Fame"?? The plot was most likely caused by regional separatist/autonomist movements and dislike of the policies of Shakashvili (which is strongly supported by Bush). Ofcourse for an American "fame" is an argument that will suffice.85.186.159.54 (talk) 14:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Fame is a more likely motive than your suggestion. Why would an ethnic Armenian from Tbilisi care about the ethnic separatist movements elsewhere in Georgia? 86.0.203.229 (talk) 10:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name spelling / Article spelling

I propose both articles be merged into a Vladimir Arutyunian page - which is the spelling the FBI uses, and as an Armenian I think better reflects the transliteration of the name than Arutinian. --RaffiKojian 02:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

I think his fundamental motivation was unmistakably the FBI (who everybody is familiar with by means of comprehension).
