Heritage leader Raffi Hovannisian continues his four-day regional tour, accompanied by Armenian National Congress (ANC) MP Nikol Pashinyan.

In a meeting with residents of the city of Martuni, Gegharkunik region, the Heritage leader urged those present to be calm and not to be excited.

“Those should be excited whose names will possibly be recorded in history textbooks as … I have never used this word before, but I will use it here in Martuni: will be recorded as traitors,” Raffi Hovannisian said, adding that they all will answer for their actions.

He added that their struggle cannot be stopped as it is not personified, and it is above “Zaruhi Postanjyan, Ruben Karapetyan, Nikol Pashinyan or Karapet Rubinyan.”

Before arriving in Martuni, Raffi Hovannisian visited Abovyan and Nor Hachn. Today he will visit Sevan, Ijevan and Berd. Tomorrow he will meet with residents of Noyemberyan, Alaverdi, Vanadzor, Spitak, Aparan and Ashtarak.
