In 2011, during the Libyan Civil War he said that there was a chance that Muammar Gaddafi will be imprisoned rather than sent out of the country like it happened in Egypt.[7]

In 2014, he argued with Andrey Zubov about the role of Hitler and the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and in an Izvestia article he stated that there was a difference between Hitler before 1939 and Hitler after 1939, and that Hitler without a single drop of blood has united Germany with Austria, and Sudetenland and Memel to Germany, something what Otto von Bismarck was unable to do.[8][9][10]

Migranyan has frequently commented on politics in Armenia. In 2013, he said that he admires Raffi Hovannisian, but disagreed that he would make a good politician.[11] He is also a vocal critic of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. During the 2018 Armenian Revolution, he strongly condemned Pashinyan and his supporters as "dirt" (охлосом, чернью, и мразью).[12]
