Narine Mnatsakanyan, head of the press department of the patriotic NGO “5th Brigade of Victory” with.
Excerpts from the conversation of Narine Mnatsakanyan, a former employee of YCU media.
- 2018 in general, before those incidents reached the commander, I thought that people who have not seen Artsakh are coming to power. They did not know what Artsakh is, it was easy to surrender Artsakh to them. And what about General Manvel… General Manvel was unmanageable, no one could lead General Manvel, control him, tell him that it should be like this. And this government did not need such people.
- They could not tell General Manvel that we have to sacrifice a lot and then say that we are giving land. General Manvel could not be told to give Artsakh so that we can live well, and General Manvel would not obey these lying generals.
I will give a name. I never gave, General Manvel was not Melkonian Gago. You could not convince General Manvel to give Artsakh. He himself would have said: we will die, but we will keep our land as much as we can, but we cannot give Artsakh, our age-old enemy, as a gift.
