ArmInfo.All questions of concern to the members of the "April Commission" were answered. On April 27, in Yerevan, in an interview with reporters after participating in the work of the "April Commission," Artsakh police chief Levon Mnatsakanyan, who holds the post of head of the Defense Army during the fighting in April 2016, said.
At the same time, he added that all the answers were immediate and sincere, that reality was presented that was April events time. To clarify to journalists whether there were such omissions during the April actions that could have affected the course of the war, Mnatsakanyan in particular replied: "Of course not. Definitely, the Artsakh Defense Army completed the tasks assigned to it. It won."
According to Mnatsakanyan, shortcomings are everywhere, the more work is done, the more shortcomings are nowhere to go.
At the same time, he did not answer the question of insufficient information on the operational intelligence line in those days, noting that the commission should decide whether to disclose information or not. The acting head of the Artsakh police also denied information about the death of 100 military personnel during the April four day. Mnatsakanyan emphasized that from April 2 to April 5, the Armenian side did not have more than 100 victims - there were 75 dead, 35 of whom were military servicemen. He also negatively answered the question of a possible internal conspiracy.
To clarify how much the Armenian side lost territories during the April war, because the numbers are constantly different, Mnatsakanyan said that they estimated up to 400 hectares (in 2016, the figure was up to 800 hectares).
Recall that the parliamentary commission to investigate the circumstances of the April war in Karabakh was created in 2019. The Commission included representatives of all factions of the National Assembly. Its goal is to identify possible errors, shortcomings or inaction on the part of the then authorities during the aforementioned period of aggravation of the situation on the border, which led to the death of more than 100 Armenian military personnel. The commission was visited by the third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, ex-Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia Artak Davtyan. Meanwhile, Yuri Khachaturov, who was then head of the General Staff of the RA Armed Forces, refused to participate in the commission.
