I Have Indeed Ensured Operational Communication: Vaneetzyan's Response to Pashinyan

The leader of the National Assembly 'I Have Honor' faction and former Director of the NSS, Arthur Vaneetzyan, wrote on his Facebook page: 'Nikol Pashinyan once again evaded answering a specific question. This time he also avoided accountability. Regarding his emotionally charged utterances resulting in yet another absurdity, I have repeatedly commented that I, as the NSS director, have indeed ensured operational communication within the framework of my authority. This operational communication was exclusively related to national security, border incidents, and the health and lives of people.

Meanwhile, the media has published information about the existence of an operational communication facilitator regarding political matters, which has not been denied. This means that another person was engaged in operational communication on political matters with the Azerbaijani leadership. I must specifically remind Nikol Pashinyan that the communication I carried out significantly decreased after a particular incident and was subsequently completely suspended.

I advise Pashinyan to stop the cheap manipulations, as I have explained to him at least several times that former officials with access to classified information in special services do not have the right to disclose classified information obtained during their service.'
