Araik Harutyunyan's Secret Visit to Russia
Baku /25.11.20 / Turan: On November 24, early in the morning, the leader of the separatists of Karabakh, Araik Harutyunyan, was noticed in the terminal of private aircraft at Moscow's Vnukovo airport. Together with him was the Deputy Chief of Staff of the CSTO Haykaz Bagmanyan, who together with Harutyunyan returned to Armenia on a private plane. Armenian Telegram-channel Mediaport announced this today.
According to the NEWS.AZ website, Arayik Harutyunyan secretly went to the Russian Federation, where he was solving the issue of his future. The fact is that Nikol Pashinyan decided to make the former commander of the separatist forces Samvel Babayan the leader of Karabakh.
The reason is that during the war, he became close to Pashinyan's wife Anna Hakobyan, winning her trust. To prevent the implementation of this scenario, Harutyunyan traveled to Moscow. Harutyunyan returned to Armenia on a private Cessna 525 Citation jet, paying 25,000 euros. To conceal the fact of his visit to Moscow, Harutyunyan's press service announced a meeting, allegedly held in Lachin, writes Telegram-channel Mediaport. -02D-
