Serzh Sargsyan: The Armenian army was not defeated in this war, it  was led to defeat

Serzh Sargsyan: The Armenian army was not defeated in this war, it  was led to defeat

ArmInfo.I am 67 years old, and during this time I saw everything:  the war, the horrific scenes of the death of friends, I talked with the parents who lost two or three  sons, I saw everything, and it seemed to me that I could no longer be  surprised at something or cry. The third President of Armenia, leader  of the Republican Party of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan stated this at a  meeting with supporters of the "I Have the Honor" bloc in Masis.

"But when I saw the photographs (from the morgue - ed. note), it  seemed to me that the blood in my veins froze. There is nothing human  in them, because these bastards brought and thrown into the  refrigerator our guys, heroes who died for the Motherland. I saw  these photos, it seemed to me the blood froze in my veins.  Are those  who made this human? Is there something human in them? How could the  bodies of the dead guys, regardless of whether they committed a  heroism or not, they gave this country the most precious thing. There  are things about which you cannot calmly talk, "said the third  President of the Republic of Armenia.

At the same time, he expressed indignation at the fact that the  Armenian authorities, instead of defending the country, are engaged  in campaigning, travel to the regions of the country.  "The enemy is  in our country, is it time to engage in campaigning? I feel awful.  Meanwhile, others, those who are called capitulators, are holding a  rally, elections, engaging in agitation campaigns. How can this be  done in an occupied country? If you insist, we will also do it, but  believe me, I feel uncomfortable with all this. I am ashamed instead  of them, and these devils here and there are engaged in agitation.  And we will do it, but we do not like it, to lie ... And he  shamelessly says, that we are proud of our defeat and can look people  in the eyes", the third President of the Republic of Armenia was  indignant.

At the same time, he also called it a shameful fact that the  Azerbaijanis crossed the Armenian border and captured an Armenian  soldier, and the commander has no right to say anything, and his  leader does nothing, this devil, this capitulator does nothing. "I  have always stood next to the army, I considered it my own. And I  can't watch him break this army, as this fool breaks his teeth, I'm  ashamed. Isn't it a shame that an Azerbaijani crosses our border,  takes our soldier, and the commander does not have the right to say  anything, and his leader does nothing, this devil, this capitulator  does nothing. I understand the state of this commander. But if his  hands are tied. This can no longer continue. 30 years the Azerbaijani  did not risk doing anything, but now he is taking prisoner on our  territory. And what answer does he receive? What are we doing to  return the prisoners? Nothing, "the third President of the Republic  of Armenia noted.  At the same time, Sargsyan stressed that the  Armenian army was not defeated in this war, but it was led to defeat.  "And this shameless person in power says that 30% of Black Lake has  been occupied, now what to fight over this? there would be a huge  amount of weapons without any penny, as it was in our time. You know  perfectly well that the combat effectiveness of the army depends not  only on weapons, but also those who know how to use them, you need a  combat-ready soldier, that's what you had to do, "- concluded  Sargsyan.
