Another curious episode associated with the main hero of the jokes of the 44-day war, former spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of Armenia Arzrun Ovannisyan, who was interrogated by investigative bodies as part of an inquiry on cases of desertion and other episodes in the Armenian army
Armenian lawyer Vaan Ovannisyan wrote on his Facebook page that, analyzing the materials of the investigation, he came across a protocol of interrogation of the ex-representative of the defense department, during which the investigator asked Ovannyan about the reasons for his public statement made on October 22, 2020.
Recall that on the night of October 19 to 20, 2020, the units of the Azerbaijani army liberated Zangilan with a rapid throw, hoisted the banner of Azerbaijan over the building of the local school and distributed photographs of the liberated city on social networks.
A day later, on October 21, the units of the Armenian army received an order to return Zangilan, but their counterattack choked: the attack was repelled, and the order of forty Armenian soldiers who were surrounded were either killed or captured.
Nevertheless, the next day, October 22, Arzrun Ovannisyan, in an interview with the Ailur information program, cheerfully stated that “ours destroyed Azerbaijanis in Zangilan,” and the staff of the school building with the flag of Azerbaijan “were false.”
Answering the investigator’s question, why it was necessary to lie so shamelessly, Oganysyan, making excuses, said that he “made a mistake”.
“You see, on October 21, Zangilan was already lost, the flag of Azerbaijan fluttered over the city, the actions of our army failed, and 40 people died or were captured, – wrote lawyer Vaan Ovannyan.” And Arzrun told us: “Do not believe it, this is, this is All Azerbaijani propaganda, we won an unprecedented victory! .. “And then, during interrogation, the investigator admits that he, you see,“ made a mistake ”. For forty -four days we were fed with this lodge, and we, as blind, believed everything. concerns the question of whether the composition of the crime, state treason is in the actions of Arzrun Ovannyan, then his discussion still has to. “
