The Armenian Report’s  Ani Khachatryan was in attendance and had the opportunity to pose a provocative question to Spacey.

Spacey himself chuckled before responding, “There are so many ways to answer that question, but I’m not going to get involved in politics.”

Kevin Spacey's portrayal of Francis Joseph Underwood in the American adaptation of "House of Cards" has left a lasting mark on popular culture. Underwood, a character known for his ruthless ambition, rises from the position of Democratic Majority Whip in the United States House of Representatives to President of the United States. Throughout the series, Underwood is depicted as a master manipulator who employs treachery, deception, and even murder to achieve his goals.
