Hayk Hanumyan
Baku/24.08.22/Turan: The return of the settlements of Lachin under the control of Azerbaijan after 30 years of occupation is regarded by the Armenian society as a kind of manifestation of the highest injustice and betrayal. Armenians are looking for traitors everywhere and in everyone, but not in themselves.
The hysteria of recent weeks has reached the highest ever level, so that the "Minister of Territorial Administration" of Karabakh Hayk Hanumyan made a rather emotional statement. He accused his fellow tribesmen of theft, looting and lying.
On his Facebook page, he wrote that in mid-August, the electricity supply to Zabukh and Lachin was disconnected from the local substation and these settlements began to receive electricity via a new line from Khankendi. A few days later, a fire destroyed this new power line. After that, transformer oil was stolen from a substation in Lachin, and looters stole a fiber-optic cable in Zabukh and the Internet disappeared in Karabakh. Then the thieves looted the communication towers, disassembling them for scrap, writes Hanumyan.
This happened despite the appeals of the "authorities" of Karabakh to the local population not to set fire to houses and not to plunder infrastructure.
Hanumyan accused the false patriots from Armenia who started fires in Lachin and thus discredited the "authorities" of Karabakh and spread disinformation damaging the interests of Armenians. -02B-
