Armenian army had everything to avoid such tragic outcomes in this  war - Serzh Sargsyan

ArmInfo. "We were accused of many things, and that our border and combat positions were not  properly equipped, and we did not buy weapons, but for some reason, then it turns out that the Azerbaijanis were waiting for us to leave in order to attack.

" The third President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, stated on February 16 in a conversation with journalists in response to the remark that the current authorities blame the "former" ones for not properly equipping the front line.  "We had everything in proper form so as not to have such tragic outcomes in this war. Don't  listen to these people who have no idea about the army. Do you even read the opinions of foreign experts, analysts, or just take everything at face value?" what are these people saying? But you need  to read," Sargsyan advised with a smile.

In response to the remark that the current Armenian authorities are  talking about unprecedented arms purchases, Sargsyan said  sarcastically: "Well, you also say, as the famous joke says."

The third president of RA also believes that the current authorities  of the Republic of Armenia could not do anything other than to accuse  them of looting the country. "What else could they have done? During  the change of power, these technologies were used in many countries.  These technologies were used not only by them, but also by those who  assisted them," said the former head of Armenia, refusing to name  those who assisted in carrying out the velvet revolution.

Sargsyan also rejected accusations that he planned to surrender the  territories around Artsakh.  When asked why he did not keep his  promise made in 2014 and was re-elected again, this time to the post  of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Sargsyan assured that  he took that step to prevent the threat hanging over Artsakh.
