The Armenian Special Forces' actions excite admiration but they do not
justify the criminal negligence of Armenian leadership, Suren
Sargsyan, member of the Council of Field Commanders, Artsakh war
veteran, has told ArmInfo's correspondent.
"I think that the bodies of our guys could and should have been taken
half an hour after the tragic incident. We, the veterans of the
Artsakh war, also could do that, but I know that there are
well-trained people in the Armed Forces. I regret to say that the
bodies of our guys have been recovered so tardily. One should not have
turned the tragedy of these people into a subject for political
speculations", says Sargsyan.
He strongly criticizes the actions of the Armenian military and
political leadership, which, in his opinion, has not only sent the
pilots of the unarmed helicopter to their doom but has also built its
personal PR on this tragedy. "I do not understand the behavior of
Serzh Sargsyan, who has declared himself as the supreme
commander-in-chief. While the bodies of our pilots were lying in the
open field and might fall prey to the beasts, Serzh Sargsyan flew to
Karabakh by helicopter and uttered some senseless speeches.
These speeches are not worth a dime. I am also extremely indignant at
the stupidity of our military leadership", says Sargsyan.
When considering the incident in the light of the ongoing political
processes, Sargsyan says that the tragic incidents along the Line of
Contact occur when Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev feel that their
regimes are endangered. "I even suspect that Sargsyan and Aliyev have
come to some agreement", he says.
To note, the NKR Defense Army Special Forces have recovered the body
of a crewmember and the remains of the two pilots of Mi-24 helicopter
that was downed by Azerbaijani forces on 12 November. The necessary
wreckage was recovered too. Two Azerbaijani militaries were killed in
the course of the special operation. The NKR Defense Army suffered no
losses.
To remind, the Azerbaijani armed forces downed an Armenian Mi-24 while
it was conducting a training flight near the Line on Contact on 12
November. Three officers of the NKR Armed Forces, Sergey Sahakyan,
Sargis Nazaryan and Azat Sahakyan, were on board. The Azeri officer
that shot the helicopter down has been awarded a medal.
