TER-TADEVOSYAN: "DEFECTED" ARMENIAN SOLDIER SAID WHAT AZERBAIJAN INSTRUCTED
12:48, 24.03.2015
YEREVAN. - Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army serviceman
Andranik Grigoryan, who had crossed over to the adversary, told the
Azerbaijani media what he was instructed to say.
Karabakh War hero, Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, said the
aforementioned at a press conference on Tuesday, as he commented on
the respective footage which the Azerbaijani side had released.
In his view, this Azerbaijani practice is nothing new.
"I'm confident that the [NKR] Defense Army report [on this matter] is
true," Ter-Tadevosyan stated. "As for the footage, there is nothing
surprising [in it], since the same Azerbaijan does not report its
[military] death toll, [and] always reports false information."
NKR Defense Army conscript, Private Andranik Grigoryan (born in 1991),
had crossed over to the adversary's side on March 22, leaving weapons
and ammunition on the line of duty. A criminal case is opened on
this incident.
On the next day, Azerbaijani websites released footage of Grigoryan's
"crossing over" and subsequent interview. The Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic Defense Army, however, released a statement noting that the
said footage was fully staged.
