ArmInfo. Former Assistant to the President of Armenia on National Security, head of the party "National Security" Garnik Isagulyan directly accused Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his team of selling Artsakh for Azerbaijani money.

Isagulyan, who has been close to the national security bodies since  Soviet times, claims that there is documentary evidence that Nikol  Pashinyan, Anna Hakobyan, Lilit Manunts, Armen Grigoryan, Arsen  Kharatyan and other "revolutionaries" periodically made trips to  Tbilisi, where, through the mediation of the embassy of the United  States met with representatives of the Azerbaijani special services.  According to available data, this team transferred about USD 48  million into Armenia for its revolutionary goals.  Isagulyan claims  that these data were provided to President Serzh Sargsyan and the  leadership of the National Security Service of Armenia, however, for  an unclear reason, it had no consequences and actually no proceedings  were given to the case. "I declare officially that the information  that Pashinyan's team received from Azerbaijan and Turkey $ 48  million is absolutely true. The entire "velvet revolution" was  financed by Turkish-Azerbaijani money, "Isagulyan said.

He also informed that the special services have information that  Lilit Makunts (head of the "My Step" faction in the National Assembly  of the Republic of Armenia - ed. note) tried to attract a valuable  staff to this matter - a student of the Slavonic University who  speaks several languages, including Turkish , Andranik Hovhannisyan,  however, the latter, realizing what they wanted to involve him in,  refused. "There are things that I still cannot talk about, but which  the third president of Armenia and deputy director of the National  Security Service Stepan Melkonyan knew about," Garnik Isagulyan said,  noting that he had several meetings with the latter on this matter.

One of the conductors of the policy of the "revolutionaries",  according to Isagulyan, was allegedly an activist of the LGBT  movement Asya Khachatryan, who was actively working in  Nagorno-Karabakh, doing prostitution there with high-ranking officers  and leaders, and in fact, collecting information.  According to  Isagulyan, during a search in her room in Stepanakert (during her  arrest - ed. note) a notebook was found. It had the following  inscription: "Today I had sex with 8 officers, I was not satisfied,  but I received the information that I needed." According to  Isagulyan, this notebook, due to ethics and other reasons, was not  included in the criminal case, but the then President of Artsakh Bako  Sahakyan was informed about it. He noted that Asya Khachatryan is an  agent of Azerbaijan, speaks excellently the Azerbaijani language, she  was lover of an employee of the Azerbaijani special task force and  repeatedly visited Baku.

Referring to the scandalous statement voiced by him earlier which  caused large bewilderment that Nikol Pashinyan had allegedly sold  Artsakh,  Garnik Isagulyan noted that President of Belarus Alexander  Lukashenko made this offer to Pashinyan. By this, Isagulyan explained  why a record appeared on the network about $ 5 billion, which the  head of Belarus had previously told Serzh Sargsyan about, and which  he rejected, offering Aliyev 6 billion. The same offer was apparently  made to Pashinyan.

 

According to Isagulyan, Pashinyan shared some funds with the  necessary people - Samvel Babayan (Former Minister of Defense of  Artsakh, and then RA - ed. note), with some generals - Tiran  Khachatryan and Andranik Piloyan. Armenian Defense Minister David  Tonoyan received his share of this money, and Artsakh President  Arayik Harutyunyan received a large share, Garnik Isagulyan claims.

But the most sensational were Isagulyan's words about how the  Armenian side lost the battle for Artsakh in conditions of such a  betrayal. The point is, Isagulyan noted, that 1,500 Azerbaijani  saboteurs, speaking Armenian and holding Armenian passports, turned  out to be in Karabakh. How these people got to Artsakh is not clear,  although it is known that at least 400 people were transferred to  Karabakh from Nakhichevan through the Zangezur region. Outwardly,  they were presented as militias, and they played the main role,  striking from the rear at the Armenian Armed Forces in the Hadrud  region. Therefore, this "bloody betrayal" took place, which claimed  the lives of thousands of Armenian soldiers, "he stressed.
