Now we are being governed by people who have not served in the army and have thrown dirt on the army, Khachaturov

Now we are being governed by people who have not served in the army and have thrown dirt on the army. This was stated by General Lieutenant, former Secretary General of the CSTO, Yuri Khachaturov, during a rally held on March 1 in Yerevan's Baghramyan Avenue.

“For example, Pashinyan says that he did not serve because his brothers served before him, and he, being the third brother, could have avoided service. But, nevertheless, you are from the village of Yenokavan. When there were holidays, couldn't you come and stand at the checkpoint and stay there for at least two days? You weren’t there, no one remembers you. No one has seen you. There is someone, Styopa Safaryan. Vazgen Manukyan was in office (referring to the position of President of the Public Council of Armenia - ed.), replaced by Styopa Safaryan. How can they even be compared? Styopa Safaryan says that when the war started, he was allegedly 14 years old. In 1992, he was 19. Why are you lying, Styopa Safaryan? You are simply a coward and a deserter,” Khachaturov noted.
