Colonel-General Movses Hakobyan, a former head of the Military Oversight Service at the Armenian Defense Ministry, was summoned to the Investigative Committee on Monday. After the interrogation, charges were pressed against the former military official according to Article 306 of the RA Criminal Code which is divulging a state secret.
Hakobyan's lawyer Yervand Varosyan insists that the charges prove that the statements made by Hakobyan were true.
"The charges pressed against Movses Hakobyan prove that his statements were true in the first place. Calling the statements made by him as a state secret after a lost war is ridiculous. However, the most important thing is if we accept the truth, first of all the self-declared acting commander-in-chief should be in the status of the defendant charged with more severe crimes," Varosyan wrote.
To note, Hakobyan, who was dismissed from his post of the during the recent Artsakh war, came up with number of revelations after the war, blaming Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of ignorance, poor leadership and making disastrous decisions that allowed Azerbaijan to make major territorial gains during the war.
