5:10 am
the, the armenians in the, in the, you know, yeah. in the 1st place and then uh it is uh, i think uh on, uh, realistic without a violent scenario of one kind or the under. so uh, what flashing on this uh, in my opinion, of course, uh, going from from, from the size i not from that region, is that, uh heated everything to encourage a barcode to actually take military action was that i think that's really the position of a medium people is, is extremely tragic because they have a man who is clearly a traitor on their national interest in charge. and, uh, and there's almost nothing they can do about it. so that is why we see these protests and yet you can follow the latest updates on the unfolding situation in the gartner, car, buck, and many other stories on our websites,
