in touch with participants of the consultation and is informed about
the investigation. Sargsyan demanded a further detailed report on
revelation of the crime at present, the circumstances and versions. He

to thousands of people." The bullet of the assassins was aimed not only

and we must be fully aware of that. We must realize that and give an
adequate response. We must take action taking this into consideration."
