On
background of festive events regarding the elections to the National Assembly and the victory of the Velvet Revolution
Another important event occurred. A political prisoner was released
Andreas Ghukasyan.
Yes
confidence that in the near future there will be no
political prisoners. Unfortunately, this matter is not done so quickly, because
it is necessary to radically change the completely rotten judicial system of Armenia, which
for about a quarter of a century it was controlled from one office and was not independent. Immediately
after Andreas Ghukasyan’s release on May 8, 2018, he gave interview. There he states that
“back on June 13 (2016), the “Get Up Armenia” movement appealed to
To the UN Secretary General with a letter that there is evidence whose side
violated the ceasefire during the April War. It was
Azerbaijani side. At this time there was no official statement – who
attacked on April 2. To this day, Ilham Aliyev has not been brought to
responsibility. Criminal prosecution against me began another 20 years ago.
June 2016.”
And
he goes on to say that “we published a video recording showing how
Azerbaijani soldiers penetrate the rear of the Artsakh Defense Army. We raised
question: is there a specific guilty party so that this crime does not remain
without consequences? We see that to this day Armenia has not taken a step to
bringing Azerbaijan to justice is a fact.” In fact, this is precisely the reason for the arrest
Andreas Ghukasyan.
He
confirms the idea that the hero is in prison for the same reason
Artsakh war Zhirayr Sefilyan. By the way, after the April war, right
accused Serzh Sargsyan of betrayal and corruption. April War theme
2016 was analyzed in detail by ACSNI at the end of 2017 in the work
“The April War and the inadequacy of Armenia’s foreign policy” (Part 1, Part 2 And Part 3). It shows why for Serzh Sargsyan
so dangerous was and remains the video published by Andreas Ghukasyan and sent
To the UN Secretary General. And not at all for the reason that he proves that
Azerbaijan launched the first attack on Artsakh. There is still no clear answer to
the question is why the political and military leadership of Armenia and Artsakh were silent,
why did Yuri Khachaturov play billiards instead of announcing the alarm?
why the army was in a deplorable technical condition, which only became a reality
after the war and much more. The real culprits of what happened not only with
on the Azerbaijani side, but on our side they were never punished. At best
some ranks were dismissed from the army, and the Chief of the General Staff Yuri
Khachaturov even received a promotion. All the witnesses to what happened two years ago
events, thank God, alive and well. This is the supreme commander Serzh Sargsyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs
Edward Nalbandyan, RA Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, Chief of the General
headquarters Yuri Khachaturov, Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan, NKR Defense Minister Levon
Mnatsakanyan. Raise some questions and activities in those days of the deputy
Parliament of the Republic of Armenia Mihran Poghosyan. There is no doubt that someday they will give
testimony and the public of Armenia and Artsakh will find out who is who in
this military and political defeat in 2016. In the meantime, as in the case
events of March 1, questions remain. The hope is that the new leadership
The country will not let this matter slide. These answers are relevant because they directly
influence the increase in morale and defense capability of our army. At least
as far as the initiation of a criminal case on the facts of the April war to the present time
remains relevant.
