Video: I Consider Those Prisoners as No Longer Existing, They Do Not Exist for Me - Alen Simonian Spotted Secretly Filming

The Telegram channel 'Déjà Vu' has released a video in which the Speaker of the National Assembly, Alen Simonian, speaks with a citizen during an event, addressing the issue of prisoners. It is unclear where and when this conversation took place. Below is the recorded dialogue.

- For example, can our prisoners wait for another two or three months?

- Alen Simonian: He is talking parallelly, 'He is right, he is right…'

- When people say such things…

- Alen Simonian: No, they are wrong; they don't understand. What was the purpose of those prisoners, those people, those soldiers going?

- To defend the homeland.

- Alen Simonian: The homeland. Excuse me, I might be saying something wrong, but I consider those prisoners to no longer exist; for me, they do not exist. Israel, Israel, Israel, when a terrorist takes a plane, they do not negotiate with the terrorist; they take down that plane.

- And do you know who those prisoners are?

- I would like to hear from you.

- Alen Simonian: Those are the people who put down their weapons and fled and got lost. I can't say this loudly. Don't you find it interesting why the parents of those prisoners are not active now?

- I am very interested in this.

- Alen Simonian: Because those people know that those individuals committed desertion; they put down their weapons and fled, ending up in captivity.
