"The Gambler" - Donald Trump calls him "king"
Heroic military pilot, a fighter, a billionaire who carries out genius financial transactions, who travels without a suit and bodyguard, who takes his own suitcases, drives the car and pays for food and room in his own hotel. He gave millions to charity and found that charity is not charity when something is anticipated for it. His colleague Donald Trump called him "king." The son of Armenian immigrants Kirk Kerkorian, with terrible education and empty pockets, made the American dream come true by moving from the "miserable street to the main street." Being one of the richest and most ardent people in the financial world of America, he rarely gave an interview, and he valued keeping his personal space the most. "The Gambler" documentary bestseller, which was released this January, is the story of ninety-year-old business genius Kirk Kerkorian. All the citations and descriptions in the book are based on eyewitness' memories or published stories. The author of the book is investigative journalist William Rampl, the author of the Armenian translation and the publisher is "Edit Print" publishing house , the authors of the translations are Alina and Anna Mirzoyan. Head of Marketing Department of "Edit Print" publishing house Shavarsh Karapetyan noted that it is a great honor for them to publish a book about the great Armenian like Kirk Kerkorian. The book presentation was organized by "Edit Print" publishing house with the support of the Gyumri municipality. It was held near the statue of the National Hero of Armenia, philanthropist Kirk Kerkorian in Gyumri. "At the time, when Gyumri was destroyed, Kerkorian landed his generous hand of help and the $ 151 million provided by him became a neighborhood, busy streets and cultural centers," said Gyumri Mayor's advisor Hasmik Kirakosyan. According to the organizers, this is the launch of KirkCampaign. The book will also be presented in other regions, as well as in Yerevan.
