Aliyev Has Not Defeated the Armenian Army and People, He Has Defeated Incompetent Authorities, Says Serzh Sargsyan

I am confident that Aliyev has always dreamed of defeating us, but his dream has never become a reality. We defeated Aliyev's father in the 90s, and on the 16th, Aliyev lost to me; he lost to me throughout the entire negotiation process. Within him has developed an insatiable desire to defeat me in some way. Aliyev is not psychologically satisfied; he knows whom he has defeated and how he has done it.

This was stated during an interview by the third President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan. According to Sargsyan, Aliyev has not defeated the Armenian army or the Armenian people; he has defeated incompetent authorities. 'The capitulation did not subject the Armenian people or the army; it was the Prime Minister of Armenia along with his team who capitulated. In a sense, Aliyev is right about the creation of the Armenian army; Kocharian, I, many generals, officers, and people played a significant role. What role did the capitulator have? He has not served even a single day. In that respect, Aliyev may be somewhat right,' Sargsyan added.
