ArmInfo. The content and tone of the statements made by the chairman of the standing parliamentary commission on defense and security Andranik Kocharian during a briefing with journalists in the National Assembly on the operation of Su-30SM aircraft during the war unleashed by Azerbaijan against Artsakh is not suitable for a high-ranking government official. This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia.
"Kocharian lined his speech with obvious irony, recalling that the Minister of Defense had walked and took pictures with fighters. We would like to emphasize that the content and tone of the statement does not suit a high-ranking government official. On the other hand, we would like to remind you that the solemn ceremony of welcoming the fighters was held under the leadership of the RA Prime Minister.
As for the use of aircraft during the recent hostilities, Kocharyan is not a government official whose position would give him the right to expect reports on whether the SUs were used or not, whether they performed combat missions, how many flights were performed on them, and other issues. We assure you that all officials who should officially receive these reports are informed in detail about the answers to these questions, "the MD statement says.
