Prime Minister's wife, Anna Hakobyan, wrote on her Facebook page:
"Our brothers and sisters living in Nagorno-Karabakh today, be strong, don't be afraid, stand on your feet. Please do not give in to temporary problems, and do not worry; we and the Republic of Armenia will never leave you alone. It would help if you had a strong Armenia; we all need a strong Armenia.
Do not give in to political manipulations; every second of the life of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia is dedicated to our state and you. It is not easier for us now; the people living in Armenia suffered a lot. Be generous that they are participating in festivals currently. There will still be festivals in Karabakh.
You have to endure. Just endure. You can do it. I believe you."
