Football veteran, Argentine striker Gabriel Batistuta has never been to Armenia before, and was struck by the atmosphere of fun on the streets of Yerevan during the Vardavar holiday, when everyone was pouring water on each other.

In a conversation with the correspondent of Armenian News - NEWS.am Vera Martirosyan, he noted that he likes Armenia very much, and he saw a very interesting holiday.

Batistuta said that he is no longer playing football. He has his own farm in Argentina, where he raises cows.

Assessing the World Cup in Russia, Batistuta praised the Russian team, noting that no one expected such a move, and he is proud of the Russian team.
