Five years have passed since the 44-day war, but the reasons that led to the defeat have not changed. Tigran Abrahamyan, secretary of the “I Have the Honor” faction, wrote about this on his Facebook page.
“How could success be achieved when the country’s military-political leadership, in the event of an imminent threat of war, does not switch the state from a peacetime to a wartime one?
When, in the face of obvious enemy actions, troops fail to switch from a guard to a defensive position?
When leadership fails, and crucial decisions are influenced by people who have never even worn a uniform or are guided solely by ambition?
When, instead of pre-approved reserve plans, the path of assembling a detachment and selecting a commander is implemented. And instead of replenishing the army, the choice is made to send detachments in an unknown direction and for unknown purposes?
There are many reasons for the defeat, but the main one is the ideological and value-based approaches of the person who found himself in the position of supreme commander-in-chief during the war, in which case defeat was guaranteed even before the war began,” wrote Abramyan.
