yesterday 168.am“Is the 44-day report now more than 200 pages or more than 400? What is Andranik Kocharyan messing up and what important things does he not remember? article: published, where we noted that Andranik Kocharyan, the chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security Affairs, has always stated that the 44-day report is about 200 or 215 pages long, moreover, even when it was already forwarded to NA Speaker Alen Simonyan.
But on March 17, on the air of “Armenia” TV Company, the chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security Issues declared.

Agree that the difference is big.
It should be noted that when Andranik Kocharyan mentioned about 200 pages, they were mentioned again the recordings, videos, 16,000 documentary materials.
After the publication of the article, we managed to find out some things that, for example, Andranik Kocharyan attached to the report of the investigative commission as an appendix the written analysis of Onik Gasparyan, the former head of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia, on 70-80 pages.
In addition to this, Andranik Kocharyan’s several-page letter-analysis related to the Su-30s, which he presented to Pashinyan, and which was also mentioned during Pashinyan’s questioning by the investigative commission, was also attached to the 44-day report.
“The much-discussed fact about the Su-30s. As a political authority, I have set a simple task before the army. say what you need and you will have it. They said: Su-30 is needed. Can you imagine an airplane from time to time? If I remember correctly, Mr. Kocharyan, you wrote me a letter on that topic and presented an analysis. I took that letter and wrote to the Ministry of Defense how appropriate it is to acquire these planes. I signed that letter to the Ministry of Defense, I said: there is such a point of view, discuss and tell. I received an answer that we discussed it, and our conclusion is that we need it,” on June 27, 2023, in the Investigative Committee. had announced Pashinyan.
By the way, Andranik Kocharyan in an interview given to Factor in February 2024 had said. “Our equipment did not fly from the beginning, then it flew partially, then it was detected and shot down. Now, in order to solve the combat problem, the General Assembly has given its consent to go to the full stage, and many have gone to the full stage.”
He then continued. “We had wrong acquisitions of weapons, by the way, I sent the information gathered by the Investigative Commission to the Prosecutor General of RA.”
Then we write We sent inquiries Andranik Kocharyan, including in connection with the Su-30s, to which he replied:
“Answers to questions about weapons and others will be included in the above report.”
And “The subjective aspect of the Investigative Commission’s report. “Following the facts” in our article we reported that an expert working in the Investigative Commission had a significant role in the preparation of the 44-day report General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia Former head of the radio electronic warfare department, colonel Vahan Avetisyan, which went through the well-known arms case of 42 million to “metal scraps”, but years later the criminal prosecution against him was stopped.
However, in April 2020, when he was still in “Yerevan-Kentron” prison, open letter corrected Nikol Pashinyan, saying that “he is being harassed by the head of the State Security Service Artak Davtyan and his deputy Stepan Galstyan”.
The letter also referred to the Su-30s.
“After the velvet revolution of 2018, I had the courage to express a professionally substantiated opinion and question the feasibility of acquiring Su-30 aircraft for the RA Armed Forces.
Immediately after that, I was persecuted by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Artak Davtyan and his deputy Stepan Galstyan…” the letter stated.
