VIDEO: Garik Sargsyan Celebrates Victory in Vedi with Great Festivities

While the country faces anxious sentiments, with the Armenian-Azerbaijani border in danger, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had previously announced during a Security Council meeting that a serious situation has developed around Nagorno-Karabakh, warning of the risk of new escalation and ethnic cleansing. Newly elected mayor Garik Sargsyan celebrated the recent victory in Vedi with great pomp and joy yesterday, as reported by Hraparak.am.

The media outlet reports that he gathered the party and regional activists at one of the local restaurants to host a festive celebration. According to the report, a video of the event was shared by the head of the ruling party in Mkhchyan village, which has since been removed from their page.

Auroranews contacted the Vedi community administration, where a receptionist confirmed the news after making some clarifications: “Yes, they celebrated, they celebrated with great pomp.”
