The head of the Armed Forces General Staff announced in the National Assembly that he got emotional during the May 28 military parade.
I wonder if Asryan was moved during the Azeriization of Artsakh, when his boss declared Artsakh Azerbaijan, or did he think that Armenia was freed from the “leash”?
Is the Head of the General Staff excited about the military equipment and weapons handed over to Azerbaijan as spoils of the 44-day war and the September 2023 attack?
Does Asryan get excited when his political leader targets his subordinates with his statements, disrespects the memory of our martyrs, drags their parents?
Does Asryan roll his eyes when Pashinyan uses rude language towards his compatriots?
Does the head of the General Staff get excited when people remind him in his presence that Artsakh is Azerbaijan, and his service to Artsakh is not defense of the motherland, but service to the interests of another country?
The questions are many and the answers are predictable.
Tigran Abrahamyan, secretary of “I have an honor” faction
