What does it mean that 30,000 soldiers would fall into encirclement? Does Pashinyan understand what that number is? - Igor Strelkov
“Nikol Pashinyan has mentioned in various places that the agreement saved the lives of 25,000 to 30,000 soldiers, as they would fall into encirclement. What does it mean that 30,000 soldiers would fall into encirclement? Does he understand what that number is? How could such a thing happen? It was impossible. If we look realistically at the state of affairs, then Armenia was losing, but there was no basis or precondition to sign a capitulation agreement. There was no sense in giving Azerbaijan the territories that the Armenian armed forces had defended. It was also not possible to sign something that would grant Azerbaijan a corridor through Armenian territory,” stated Igor Strelkov, a colonel and military expert from the FSB.
