Recently Samvel Babayan announced that during the war period “the government of RA was committing crimes by not letting to liberate territories in NKR.” To the question why in that case Serzh Sargsyan agreed to work with the “ criminal government” of 1993-1997 Babayan answered, “After dismissing former Defense Minister Vazgen Manukyan it was necessary to appoint someone, who would be invulnerable for the opposition.” “He (Serzh Sargsyan) was appointed because it was decided in NKR and we asked him to give his consent. We tried to back us up from behind not to be stabbed. This is the reality,” he said.
