RETRIBUTION IS AHEAD!



Interview with NKR Defense Minister-AoD Commander Lieutenant General Movses Hakobyan

Style of equivalent estimation of some international organizations gives green light to militant claims of Azerbaijan

– What do you think, is it possible that unarmed helicopter, which was performing a training flight in the territory of its positions at a height of 70m, was perceived by the enemy as a threat or attack on their positions, as they claim?

– No! We previously announced about the exercises and said that helicopters would also participate. Destruction of the Armenian military-training helicopter from the Azerbaijani side was a previously planned action, and the enemy used this opportunity. It is evident that even with a strong desire ordinary soldier, having questionable mental capacity, could not take our helicopter’s flight as a threat.

– And were there situations when we could destroy the Azerbaijani helicopters?

– There were no such situations. However, in other cases, we could have destroyed Azerbaijani helicopters many times. And now we can, too!

– And why we didn’t destroy? Why we don’t destroy?

– Because we are not Azeris, we are Armenians! We don’t destroy air force which is implementing training flight on its territory.

– Was the reaction of international structures equivalent?

– No, it was not. The requests sent to Azerbaijani and Armenian parties, to put it mildly, were not equivalent. And I would say, alignment style of some international organizations, “the mixing of wet with dry” gives green light to militant claims of Azerbaijan. The operation on retrieving of the corpse and the remains of pilots, the helicopter’s parts was unique, firstly, by its secrecy. The operation lasted 10 days, together with the planning and preparation work. The operation was unique for its complexity as well. Armenian helicopter crash site was close to the Azerbaijani position. The area was mined both by the Armenian and the Azerbaijani side. Azerbaijanis have done everything possible to put a crimp in the operation, and the confrontation was very large. The operation was carried out in very bad weather conditions, even the vision devices were not working. During the operation the Azerbaijani opposition was neutralized, in short, the firing points were suppressed. From the Azerbaijani side a few people have been definitely killed, perhaps 7-10 people, the exact figure can not say.

– This operation is the promised retribution or…?

– This was an operation on retrieving of the corpse and the remains of pilots, the helicopter’s parts as well. Retribution is ahead! Once again I want to express my condolences to our people and the relatives of the perished pilots.
