Ruben Vardanyan Calls for Rally

The State Minister of Artsakh, Ruben Vardanyan, announced during a live broadcast on his Facebook page that the gas supply in Artsakh has been restored without preconditions and concessions. He also indicated that there might be an opening of the road today. He expressed gratitude to all those who have worked tirelessly over the past four days.

The Minister stated that the decision was made by the Azerbaijani side, as they have realized that the people of Artsakh have not succumbed to panic, have not surrendered, and are resilient and united.

Vardanyan also called for a rally in Stepanakert today at 15:00 to demonstrate unity and strength. According to the state minister, they have information regarding every gasoline coupon issued and are aware of the organizations or individuals recipients. He noted that they have a comprehensive list of individuals who tried to take advantage of this situation over the past 96 hours, from gas station owners to pharmacy workers.

Vardanyan urged everyone to remain united, to overcome any hatred, and thus demonstrate strength. “There is significant pressure from various countries on Azerbaijan. On Monday, the European court is expected to receive a response, and numerous organizations have already gathered humanitarian aid; they have no alternative, and the road will be opened. I am confident that the issue will be resolved in a short time, and I am proud to work alongside the people of Artsakh,” Vardanyan added.
