“I don’t want to talk for a long time, yesterday I was in Martuni and I am very happy that the meeting took place the day before in Martakert and today there will be a meeting in Askeran. The Martuni meeting gave me some interesting thoughts and conclusions, so I want to say that I was happy to see so many people,” he said, presenting some details about the meeting.

After that, the connection was interrupted and Vardanyan’s speech remained unfinished.
