During an election campaign on Tuesday in Kapan, Nikol Pashinyan complained that people want to hold him responsible for every incident that took place during the war. “I am not trying to avoid responsibility. That is not the issue. Go see what Azerbaijan did in March and April of 2018. Azerbaijan announced that it conducted an operation in Nakhichevan, allegedly liberating 11 thousand hectares of land…
The chief of staff at the time, Movses Hakobyan, reported to me that there is nothing essential happening here. I asked what happened, and they told me that nothing happened, there were empty positions in that area because of the winter, now the snow melted, and they went to those positions. Now, they want to blame the current chief of staff. But where is your responsibility from then? Why don’t you take responsibility for the new positions in Nakhichevan, Serzh Sargsyan and Movses Hakobyan specifically? That happened during your administration, when new positions were established above Areni. Why aren’t you taking responsibility? You’re not causing an uproar, you’re not pulling your hair out, and you’re not filling your heads with ashes.”
