Aramayis Aghabekyan, a former deputy of the “Free Homeland-KMD” faction of the Artsakh National Assembly, referred to Alen Simonyan’s statement in the National Assembly on his Facebook page, on which occasion he presented a conversation he had with the former President of Artsakh, Arayik Harutyunyan, who is currently illegally held in a Baku prison.
“Alen Simonyan answers the question of an Artsakh journalist, “When will we return to Artsakh?”, that there was no need to stage a coup and that there was a need to fight, allegedly that was the reason for the fall of Artsakh.
No, recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, but a coup is in it.
The thesis of not fighting is, in fact, one of the main tools of generating hatred towards the people of Artsakh, which Alen Simonyan likes to use very much.
And regarding the coup, I want to tell you a story, let the Armenian public know and draw its own conclusions.
Two days before the election of Samvel Shahramanyan, I met with Arayik Harutyunyan in the office of the wine factory adjacent to the Yerevan Hotel.
Throughout the conversation, he tried to convince me that making a political agreement with Samvel Babayan and handing over the security structures to him would not change anything.
During that time, he received a call. He picked up the phone.
– Yes, Mr. Pashinyan, the situation is tense, there are accumulations on the border.
Another question came from the other end of the phone call, and Arayik Harutyunyan answered.
– At the moment, there are the necessary votes for Shahramanyan to be elected, but if not, it will definitely happen in the second round.
After the phone call, Arayik Harutyunyan told me.
– Although I am not the president, he is still making clarifications with me.
Now the question is: who or who? and how did they organize that “coup”?
How wide was the scope of the agreement in the fall of Artsakh?
Can Alen Simonyan answer that question? - writes Aramayis Aghabekyan.
