There are serious grounds to believe that the defeat in the 44-day Karabakh war was planned. The second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, expressed such an opinion at Thursday’s press conference for Russian media, Sputnik-Armenia reports.
“Both during the war and especially after the war, very serious doubts emerged about the actions of the [Armenian] authorities, and of the prime minister [Nikol Pashinyan], personally. Suspicions arose in me, two colonel generals, the third president [Serzh Sargsyan], and other groups of people,” Kocharyan said.
According to him, there is no reasonable explanation for any question that arose. “It is not normal when the government cannot give any reasonable explanation. For example, why was the general mobilization—which presupposed the replenishment of the armed forces—stopped on the third day of the war? Why did the prime minister not accept on October 19 [Russian President] Vladimir Putin’s proposal, knowing on the fourth day of the war that we would lose the war (as reported by the General Staff)?,” Kocharyan said.
Tavo says
Azerbaijan and Turkey planned the war.
In the leadup to the war and during the war, Russia said and did nothing basically NOTHING until November 9, 2021.
This was a Russian war from start to finish.
Kocharyan should first pay back all the money he stole from the Armenian people before he talks about politics.
Th war happened because Putin threw a totally uncalled for and unnecessary temper tantrum against Pashinyan, even though the latter had never changed Armenia’s political and military orientation.
Due to Putin’s tantrum, Russia now has to deal with an empowered Turkey, Azerbaijan, and pan-Turkism.
Putin has no idea what he is doing. He betrayed Armenia and Russia and should step down.
