Panic Unfolded: Former NSS Chief Claims PM Was Briefed Hourly on Frontline Developments

During the war, the National Security Service (NSS) briefed the Prime Minister at one o'clock, providing an objective and full picture of the frontline situation. It is essential to understand why he did not make decisions based on the situation. If we were experiencing defeats and no one was supporting us even politically, who were we relying on? Why did we deepen our losses day by day, bringing new casualties each day, and why was panic unfolding?

This was stated by Mikayel Hambarzumyan, the former acting head of the NSS, during the "#TodayIssue" program on ArmNews.

“We did not have a situation that promised success; our situation was worsening day by day. If the Prime Minister is not answering this question, then the head of the operational-investigative group to be formed after the elections will say what was the reason for not stopping the war. If we talk about intentionality, that is state treason. We lost the war due to incompetence, clumsiness, and poor organization,” he stated.
