Vazgen put his hand on the table to turn it on you. Vahan Shirkhanyan’s letter to Robert Kocharyan

Vahan Shirkhanyan, the former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia, provided an open letter to the second President of the Republic of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, to the publication of “First News”.

Robert, since you in no way want to see, understand, understand your real place, value and role in the Armenian reality, you call the collection of lies a book, I want to refresh your memory with a few episodes.

1. 1992 number, June. Stepanakert square and stadium were filled with 35,000 refugees from Shahumyan and Martakert. I came to you and said that all of them should be accommodated in the five liberated villages around Stepanakert, in Shushi and Khojalu, and I will make an agreement with the Armenian government to provide assistance to every family, because after the earthquake, there were no free hostels, hotels, or schools in Armenia after the Azerbaijani-Armenian refugees. I left for Lachi, where another group of refugees was gathered, spent the night there, and returned to Stepanakert in the morning. I had just passed from Lisagore, I saw that the road was full of refugees, barefoot, shaggy old people and children, hungry and thirsty. When I asked where are you going, they answered: Kocharian said to go to Armenia, there is no place in Karabakh. The sight was terrible. I arrived in Stepanakert, went to you and said, “You are an animal.” With your fists on the table, your head down, you couldn’t answer anything. As a result, Artsakh lost 35,000 inhabitants, and the number of refugees in Armenia increased by the same amount. Most of them later emigrated from Armenia. Maybe it was a manifestation of your undisguised hatred towards the people of Artsakh. I was convinced that day that a person does not represent value for you, that you lack a state mentality.

Well, of course, Stepanakert, Lachin, Vank, Martuni, Sarsang, Karintak, Fizuli, Jabrayil, Kubatli and other settlements, where I have been hundreds of times, are 50-100 km “far” from the border, as you write in your “pisulka”. It turns out that you have no idea about the geography of Artsakh.

I still deliberately miss the pre-98 details, even though they are not details at all.

2. 1998 March 30, the 2nd round of presidential elections. You turned the 27% vote given exclusively to Vazgen Sargsyan’s speech into 59% for yourself and declared yourself the President of the Republic of Armenia. And you “generously” gave 41% to Karen Demirchyan, who received 73%, promising also the post of prime minister at Vazgen’s request. And, of course, you cheated, as always.

3. In 1998 December 10. The murder of Vahram Khorkhorunu made possible the execution of the nationalistic crime of October 27. By the way, did you mention in your many-suffering case about the more than strained relationship between you and NKR Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Vahram Khorkhorun, who was sent from Armenia? If you forgot, I can remind you.

4. Two months after you declared yourself the president, Vazgen invited me to his place. He was more than concerned. He said: Shirkhanyan, what did we do? This man is not Armenian, he does not love Armenians, Armenia. At the end of the conversation, he instructed to choose a party with an acceptable ideology and start the work of creating it. He decided to free Armenia from you through an open and honest political struggle, not through terror.

4. By deceiving Karen Demirchyan, you pushed Vazgen into an alliance with the latter. You were terrified of that alliance because you were terribly afraid of both of them. Your cowardice or arrogance did not allow you to participate in the founding congress of the “Unity” bloc, which was held in the Opera House, which Vazgen and Demirchyan accepted with a smile.

5. 1999 Vazgen didn’t want to present you personally, because he didn’t want to see your face, and sent the materials to me. You were angry, you came to the session, and no one welcomed you in the Ministry of Defense. Such a thing had never happened, that the Commander-in-Chief was not personally met by the Minister. But you, with your arrogant and self-willed character, continued to imagine yourself as the Commander-in-Chief.

6. 1999 In April, Vazgen categorically refused to go with you to Washington to participate in the 50th anniversary assembly of NATO, and forced me to go. Armenian and Azerbaijani planes arrived in Washington on the same day. We were met by a dumper bus, taken to the hall, where my, yours and Vardan Oskanyan’s belongings were thoroughly checked, and your bodyguards were disarmed. The next day, I saw in the “Washington Post” that Aliyev was greeted by Albright himself, near the plane, on the red carpet. I entered your room with that newspaper and demanded to return. A deep insult was inflicted on Armenia and the state of Armenia, but you began to convince me otherwise, saying that the whole world is coming, which one should they welcome? You once again proved that you have no sense of responsibility, honor or respect for Armenia and the Armenian people. I wonder if this episode is in your “book”, as well as how you were embarrassed in front of Armenians on April 24 with your “English” speech in the church.

7. 1999 in June, when the government was handed over to Vazgen Sargsyan, it was announced that the budget had a gap of 37 billion drams, but a week later it turned out that the budget gap was… 137 billion drams. Where did that huge amount of money go during your two-year rule? A week later, it turned out that 400 million dollars, the amount of gas given by the Russian Federation to Armenia in exchange for the gas supply network, was also lost, which was supposed to be entered into the budget, but the budget did not receive a penny. And you’re talking about scams and scammers?

8. 1999 June Vazgen Sargsyan announced at the government session that he forbids ministers to communicate with you without his permission. This order was carried out by all the ministers, except one, Serzh Sargsyan, who was quickly deprived of the status of super minister, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was handed over to Suren Abrahamyan.

9. 1999 July By order of Vazgen Sargsyan, a commission was created to verify the legality of the sale of “Hayoski”, “ArmenTel” and the Brandy factory enterprises. You were the author of the sale of these three, and you caused a loss of $1.5 billion to Armenia with these three alone. Many frauds were revealed in the actions of this merchant, on the basis of which you, at least, should have been dismissed, normally you should have been tried, but the 27th prevented the completion of the works. The relationship between you and Vazgen became more strained day by day.

10. 1999 from August, Vazgen took over the appointment of all key personnel.

11. 1999 September Vazgen returned furious from the American business trip (by the way, before leaving, he appointed me as acting prime minister, as in other cases when he was on a business trip), invited him to his place and literally said the following: “this scum (about you) agreed to exchange Meghri with Lachin. Albert Gor noted that he is very happy that the Karabakh problem will finally be settled. I told him that such an exchange would never happen. The conversation ended very badly.” Karen Demirchyan shouted at you with the same non-diplomatic lexicon for the same Meghri issue and, slamming the door, left your office.

12. 1999 in September, 8 juchoks were found in the government apartment of Vazgen. Do the consequences yourself, how did they get there? Listening devices were also found in the prime minister’s office.

13. 1999 September Vazgen was concerned about another problem during his visit to the USA. They sent him a list, in which there were Armenian officials with serious money of unknown origin in various banks. The whole nation knew that there were such people in Armenia, but what the stranger said about it deeply offended him. He warned me that he would send people to me who would “voluntarily” invest in the industry. Your closest people came, one of them committed to invest 200 million dollars, Serzh Sargsyan, another – 70, the next – 20. They came to the Prime Minister sweaty and scared. Vazgen had started the looting process that was going to reach you too, but it also failed on October 27th. To the question of who needed to fail the process of recovery of looted money, maybe you can answer it yourself.

14. 1999 A few days before October 27, Vazgen and I were at your place to discuss the sale of the “Shoghak” factory. Your proposal and claim, which harms the interests of Armenia, angered him so much that he cursed you and said, “What do you want from this country, tell us to get rid of it?”, he threw his hand on the table to turn it on you, but he restrained himself. I will not describe your appearance, it did not suit the “only man” at all. You write that Vazgen was your friend. There has never been a case in the history of mankind that an arrogant and self-righteous person has a friend, there can only be flatterers, moles, and people without dignity in his circle. You say Leonard was your friend, then why did you and Serge ignore his wise advice, his plea not to go for the presidential post, accurately predicting that it would lead to deep contradictions between the two parts of Armenia, which we all witnessed and were the bearers of damages and losses.

15. On October 27, I was in the National Assembly when shots were still heard. I clarified the situation from Smbat Ayvazyan, who was in the hall, and immediately called your assistant Alik, informing him that the scum will vacate the hall only after meeting with you personally. Then I called four more times because you didn’t come. You finally came three and a half hours late. Your delay was caused by:

1. You were afraid that Vazgen’s team would destroy you.

2. You were waiting for the reaction of what happened, hoping that the people would make the criminal a hero.

3. You were waiting for the continuation of the operation with the involvement of new forces.

4. You hoped that Vazgen’s team would attack the hall, destroy the scum, and you would have all the grounds to destroy the team.

5. Delay your meeting with the scum for 13 hours, so that they would be bleeding, and if there was a wounded person among them, there would be no chance to save them. Only you could make such a calculation.

16. All these causes of delay were together, and you killed them all by your delay, leaving no hope for the salvation of any one. After coming to the National Assembly, you waited for another 9 hours and only then encountered the miscarriage. Who was playing with the blood of the victims, my list or you personally?

17. When you arrived, the situation in the National Assembly was long and completely under the control of the Military Police, and the “confusion” you described is a blatant lie. You invited me, Jhangiryan and Gorik Hakobyan to Demirchyan’s office, where Gorik Hakobyan presented you with the operative case file of NSS agent Nairi Hunanyan. Maybe you can find out who ordered the destruction of that case, which we saw with four pairs of eyes on the table of Karen Demirchyan’s office.

18. About the “Alpha” division. “In an hour I was informed that they are waiting from Russia

Upon the arrival of the “Alpha” unit, which was coming on the instructions of Yeltsin. I ordered them to be placed with our special forces in national security.” You are lying again. You yourself asked Yeltsin to help, but you did not see “Alpha”, did not talk to them, did not accommodate them, none of your people communicated with them, because we blocked your opportunities, they immediately came under Vagharshak Harutyunyan and returned to Moscow the next day. Of course, you would very much like “Alpha” to attack the National Assembly hall, destroy the criminals, along with several others, after which the whole world would blame the Russians for October 27, and no one would look for the real organizers anymore. Of course, it was a brilliant and, again, a terrible plan.

19. 9 hours after coming to the National Assembly, you met the criminal, the traitor of the nation, violating all existing rules for such cases, without a recording and without a witness, but there is a paragraph in your “work of the century” that you either did not read or did not understand. “Infinite and unrealized

Being a person with ambitions, believing that he deserved much more, Hunanyan explained his failures by the fact that the “rotten system” does not allow him a way. He convinced himself that the government was purposefully preventing him from establishing himself as a political leader, and he considered Vazgen Sargsyan to be the main threat to him.” With this, you have completely exposed yourself as his sympathizer and sympathizer. These words were a reflection of your state of mind at that moment. Well, of course, Vazgen was also the main threat for you. I do not rule out that during your warm conversation you yourself suggested this to him as a motive for the crime.

20. Now about the list, which was handed to you at midnight, not at 8 o’clock in the evening, as you, as usual, lie. You turned that list into a flag for 18 years, without realizing that you can neither justify yourself with that list nor prove your innocence in 27.

Moreover, you show yourself as a mediocrity and incapable of leadership. You had to immediately, immediately appoint temporary officials to prevent the crisis of the management system, you had to introduce a state of emergency in the country, immediately relieve Serzh Sargsyan from the post of Minister of Defense, bring the army to the 1st level of preparation, address the people with a message. You didn’t do any of these things, but you mobilized the ambassadors of the USA, the Russian Federation, the Catholicos and others who had expectations from you, whom you sent to us and begged them not to use violence against you and Serzh. We did not implement it and made a mistake. As for the persons mentioned in the list, all of them are Vazgen’s closest friends and high quality specialists. Those appointed by you were ten times inferior to them in terms of professionalism, services rendered to Armenia, patriotism and morality.

21. However, after the meetings between the Ministry of Defense and Dacha, you accepted the idea that resignation was inevitable, and you asked us for time to allow you to participate in the Istanbul assembly, to return and resign. We agreed, being used to taking our word for it. I don’t want to talk about the profiteering entry into the Ministry of Defense that you described, which is basically a lie, after all, a person should have at least a little shame. You went to Istanbul, put your signature under the document confirming the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, came back and applied your favorite rule: “divide and rule”, which you know perfectly. You gave a general title to some, positions, promises to others, and you managed to tear down, divide, destroy, and remove the issue of resignation from the agenda, using the paved road of fraud and deceit that you have always used. I wonder if you have written about this in your Nobel prize-winning “book”.

22. Now one more quote from the flash of your creative mind. “By the way, about Shirkhanyan

I told Vazgen several times, don’t you see that he is a fraud and a swindler? What did you find in it?’ If that was your belief.

1. Why did you personally appoint me as a minister three times in one year, namely as the first deputy prime minister, and twice when Vazgen was no longer there? Didn’t you have so much courage and manhood, at least once to hit your hand on the table and refuse to appoint me minister-deputy prime minister? Instead, you were gossiping in Vazgen’s ear from behind, right? Now who is the talker and deceiver?

2. If I was 100 or 50 km away from the border, have you been to Armenian border villages to the extent of one percent of my villages in Artsakh, or did you not understand until now that the conflict was primarily Armenian-Azerbaijani, and from Noyemberyan to Meghri, all border villages were targeted, shelled and bombed by Azerbaijan?

3. Why were you running around in Stepanakert to treat me properly, toasting loudly at the table?

In general, have your work and speech ever been combined?

23. 1999 December In my speech at the Congress of the Communist Party of Ukraine, I said that the limit of trust in the government has been reached, and it is necessary to hold new presidential elections. The hall greeted with applause. You and Serge were in a panic, maybe it was a conversation?

Now you say that you are returning to politics. Are you coming to hand over Meghri to the Turks, to hand over the liberated lands to your former boss, to declare in Tiflis that Armenia has no problem in Javakh, or to continue looting? And who is waiting for you? You didn’t realize that Armenians hate you, Diaspora does too. Didn’t you feel once in 10 years that you are not in your place, that you are ridiculous in the role of president? Now you should have said the following to the people: I’m sorry, Armenians, I did a scam, I accumulated billions by robbing you, I caused you a lot of damage, now I’ve brought back what’s left, if you can, forgive me. If you are Armenian, you should do this. Don’t you feel uncomfortable that instead of you and Serzh, it is Pashinyan who is apologizing to the people, a man who has neither killed, robbed, nor forged, and you and Serzh, with your faces turned to the other side, are striving for power again?

That’s it for now, I’ll wait for Munchausen’s new exploits to be published.
