Joint prayer during a nationwide rally

The participants of the nationwide rally prayed to God together under the leadership of the Reverend Father Vachagan Gyurjyan. The Lord's Prayer sounded from the lips of people on both sides of the Stepanakert-Yerevan teleconference, after which the Father read an excerpt from the "Book of Lamentations".

Before the joint prayer, Father Vachagan quoted the following words of the previous Catholicos of All Armenians, His Holiness Vazgen the First: “If we do not bow before God, we will have to bow before people and, even worse, before the enemy.”
