At the meeting of the investigative committee under the NA,
\nFormer Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan also referred to the statement made by
\nChief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces Onik Gasparyan.
\nAccording to Gasparyan’s statement, on the third day of the war, he reported
\nthat the Armenian Armed Forces could no longer resist the enemy.
<\/p><\/p>\n
To remind, Pashinyan tried to deny Onik Gasparyan’s
\nstatement. Moreover, he shared a fragment from Gasparyan’s report, made at the
\nSecurity Council meeting, with the aim of denying what he said.
<\/p><\/p>\n
However, Davit Tonoyan noted that he surely remembers that
\nsuch information was given and that before reporting it at the Security Council
\nmeeting, Onik Gasparyan had reported the same to him.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Whether I was satisfied with the report or not is not
\nthe matter in question. Anyway, that was the situation on the ground, and it
\nwas necessary to present it at the Security Council meeting,” Tonoyan
\nsaid.
<\/p><\/p>\n
He also noted that their calculations had not been accurate,
\nand they had not foreseen the possibility of Turkey’s appearing 25 kilometers
\naway from the Artsakh front.
<\/p><\/p>\n
MP Armen Khachatryan wondered what was the reason for their
\nrelaxed approach to the assessment of risks with regard to Turkey’s factor. He
\nasked Tonoyan whether the fact of Russia’s being our strategic ally was the
\nreason for this. In response to his question, Tonoyan said: “We were not
\nrelaxed. We were worried.”
