Karabakh commander: diplomats nullified Armenia’s victory in wars

May 12, 2012 – 11:53 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenians won in Artsakh war due to persistent
struggle and large human toll, first commander of Nagorno Karabakh
self-defense forces Arkadi Karapetyan said at a recent meeting with
the youth.

”We took the first step, and God favored us,” Karapetyan emphasized
adding that the Armenian nation always emerged as winner in wars;
another thing is that diplomats reduced our victories to nought.

Touching upon different stories on Artsakh war, he said different
myths on Russian-assisted victory were spread over the past years.

`I assure you they [Russians] did not supply us with armaments, they
just sold them to us. I remember buying 3 infantry fighting vehicles
and paying 240.000 roubles for them,’ Karabakh-open.info quotes
Karapetyan as saying.
