The hearing of Armenia’s former President Serzh Sargsyan at the parliamentary commission examining the 2016 April War lasted for five hours and ended minutes ago.
“I have made sure that my decision to participate in the hearing of the parliamentary commission was justified. The hearing went normal in an atmosphere of mutual respect, and I am happy that I could provide additional information about the April war,” Sargsyan told reporters at a short briefing after the end of the parliamentary commission sitting.
Sargsyan next noted that he had no opportunity to take all questions not because of to the secrecy of the information but for the truth he is eager to communicate later. “My aim is clear to give the public an actual and true information about military activities that resulted in the victory of our Armed Forces, civil society and the people in general not only on the battlefield but also on the diplomatic front.”
The former president once again stressed that he would answer all questions of reporters once the state of emergency is lifted in Armenia. As to the theories of conspiracy, Sargsyan said: “Let me just stress that I have neither been guided by conspiracy theories nor the world, our partners, allies, tried to plot against the Armenian people. Apparently, we have enemies, but we also enjoy the friendships of numerous partners. I would recommend not to let conspiracies guide you,” Sargsyan added.
