ArmInfo. Legendary Artsakh intelligence officer, holder of the Second Degree "Battle Cross" Order, and head of the "Strong Armenia" security team, Artur Avanesyan (Kandaz) dedicated his entire life to the Armenian army. This was stated by Arega Hovsepyan, a member of the "Strong Armenia" party, in response to a publication by Anna Hakobyan, the ex-wife of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, claiming that she did not see the legendary intelligence officer Artur Avanesyan during the 44-day war in 2020 around Artsakh. "Pashinyan is the behavior of a weak and cowardly leader.
You still have to earn the right to pronounce Artur Avanesyan's name before you can ask any questions. Artur Avanesyan dedicated his entire life to the Armenian army. Ask any serviceman or his comrades about him. We're not going to answer you. I'll just say one thing: the fragile and temporary peace you brought will soon end, and there will be a strong and lasting peace with Samvel Karapetyan," Hovsepyan stated on her Facebook page.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's former wife, Anna Hakobyan, wrote on her Facebook page on March 31 that she can't remember Artur Avanesyan, a representative of the Strong Armenia party and Artsakh intelligence officer, during the 44-day war. She said that if she had seen him, he would have definitely caught her attention and, of course, made an impression. Hakobyan, who is far from military affairs, assured that his level of awareness of the war and his level of awareness of the sensational news that broke in Armenia a month ago are directly proportional.
Earlier, Avanesyan, responding to Anna Hakobyan's claim that the Armenian side allegedly had 11,000 deserters during the 44-day war, said: "Our soldiers weren't deserters; our soldiers fought like lions, and your husband left our soldiers defenseless and unarmed."
