VAZGEN MANUKYAN: "I HAVE SEND LISKA TO KARABAKH AS A PENALTY, VAZGEN SARGSYAN REQUESTED, FORGOTTEN."
June 5 2013
Recently, during the TV program "The Issue of the Country", the former
Mayor of Goris Samvel Harutyunyan provided details on various incidents
relating to the Governor of Syunik Marz Suren Khachatryan.
He also told about an episode with Vazgen Manukyan's behavior. In
1992, when Suren Khachatryan was the conventional commander of the
battalion, he had to be in the positions as the battalion commanders
at that time were in the positions, but instead he began to pursue
Samvel Harutyunyan who unwittingly had become a Mayor. According
to the latter, he was sitting in the City Hall, when one day Suren
Khachatryan commenced an "armed attack" to defenseless City Hall
and seized the building: "Vazgen Manukyan, then, was the Minister of
Defense, the next day he came on helicopter. And the interesting thing
was that Suren Khachatryan really captured the building. That was the
only military success of Suren Khachatryan: military occupation of
defenseless City Hall of Goris Marz. I do not know any other military
success. I know miscarriages, failures when he was a conventional
commander of the battalion." According to Samvel Harutyunyan's words,
Vazgen Manukyan's interference in the case did nothing, a few months
later the Supreme Court examined the case and upheld a fine. In a
talk with Aravot.am, Vazgen Manukyan confirmed that there was indeed
such a story, but he denied that he was one of the sponsors of Suren
Khachatryan. "Samvel Harutyunyan has truly described the case, there
really is such a thing. I then told Liska that he need to go to the
front, to Karabakh, for 3 months as a penalty. Then, Vazgen Sargsyan
asked me to postpone for a month, a month later he again came and
asked to postpone for another month and then it was forgotten, and so
it passed away." We clarified whether Your fault is there that he was
liberated only by a penalty after such a step, he said, - "There is
no bases for it. I took him out, told him to go to Karabakh front to
redeem, but Vazgen Sargsyan asked me: once he asked, for the second
time, for the third time I was already away from the war in 1993. You
asked, I answered." To our question of how he interprets the events in
Goris, and where Suren Khachatryan's remission comes from, he refused
to comment, saying, - "Whatever referred to me, I told you. Now,
I do not want to give assessments. Now I do not want to enter into
those things. I denied what was not true about me, I do not care about
other things. " Hripsime Jebejyan Photo from http://vazgenmanukyan.am
