Alexander Khatisian vs Yoshihiko Noda

Khatisian became Prime Minister of the First Republic of Armenia in August 1919, succeeding Hovhannes Katchaznouni. He led the government during a period of territorial expansion and diplomatic efforts to secure international recognition.

Khatisian led the Armenian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, advocating for Armenian independence and territorial claims. The conference resulted in the Treaty of S

As Prime Minister of Armenia, Khatisian signed the Treaty of Alexandropol on December 2, 1920, with the Turkish Grand National Assembly. The treaty ended the Turkish-Armenian War but forced Armenia to cede large territories and accept Sovietization.

Khatisian died in Paris on March 10, 1945, after years of exile following the Sovietization of Armenia. He remained active in Armenian diaspora politics until his death.

Noda became Prime Minister in September 2011, succeeding Naoto Kan. He was the last leader of the Democratic Party of Japan before Shinzo Abe's return to power in 2012, marking the end of the DPJ's brief period in government.

Noda pushed through a controversial bill to raise the consumption tax from 5% to 10% by 2014, despite opposition within his own party. The tax hike was intended to address Japan's massive public debt but cost the DPJ public support.

Noda dissolved the House of Representatives in November 2012, triggering a snap election. The DPJ suffered a historic defeat, winning only 57 seats, while the LDP under Shinzo Abe returned to power. This ended DPJ rule.

Noda's government nationalized three of the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands by purchasing them from a private Japanese owner. This move provoked massive anti-Japan protests in China and severely strained bilateral relations.
