According to 'Zhoghovourd' sources in Artsakh, Araik Harutyunyan appeared quite dejected, making uncertain and unpromising statements regarding Artsakh's future and road blockades. Harutyunyan specifically stated that they have nothing in their hands, that they must fight and raise their voices, but the key to solving the problem is not in their hands.
