The investigative commission investigating the circumstances of the April war invited a conscript soldier who participated in the 2016 operations to a closed session, who provided the commission members with very important information.


The chairman of the commission said this in a briefing with journalists after the closed session of the commission Andranik Kocharyan:


“Today we received very important information from the invited person. It is about the situation on the front line. He was a person who increased our knowledge about the April events, a person who had direct participation in the front line,” said Kocharyan.


He did not give other details about the invited person, he only mentioned that he is one of the soldiers who created the hero painting of the front line. Kocharyan gave a positive answer to the question whether he was a conscript soldier during that time. According to Kocharyan, during the work, they studied what the realities were on the front line.


Referring to the persons already invited and to be invited to the closed sessions of the commission, he noted that they have an approved list of invitees, which has not decreased, on the contrary, it has increased. According to Kocharyan, high-ranking officials of that time were invited to the meetings of this commission, but he did not publish their names.


The commission worked actively in the summer as well, working with a large number of materials and people. Kocharyan assured that the commission is becoming more professional day by day. The chairman of the commission stated that they will do everything so that there are no shortcomings in the Ministry of Defense in the future.


At the same time, we managed to find out who was the person invited to the commission. We are talking about Hrant Sarkisov, a participant in the April four-day war.


In particular, he wrote about the commission on his Facebook page, noting that he participated in the session. “I was thinking whether to write or not, but I have to, I have to tell the truth to my comrades in arms.
guys,


Did you know that today I was invited to the RA NA “Temporary Committee to Investigate the April 2016 Incidents”…


I must thank each of the members of the committee, led by the chairman of the committee, Mr. Kocharyan.


What I believed before the work started was justified. Today’s meeting proved that the investigative commission is APOLITICAL, that we HAVE TO TRUST the investigative commissioner, none of the members mixed politics with the events of April.


Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, MPs,” he said in his post.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
