"They - the Armenian government deceives the people! They sent 18-year-old soldiers to the front only with machine guns. They say, "Sorry, no bullets, sorry, no tanks." Bulletproof jackets are completely useless. There is nothing there. The food truck unloads everything on the road, and if you want to eat, you have to walk 4 kilometers under the Grads. We, 8 friends, went for 4 nights and carried food for all four lines on our shoulders, ”French soldier Arthur Ohanisyan, who is Armenian by nationality, told Novaya Gazeta in Nagorno-Karabakh.
A Novaya Gazeta reporter described him as wearing shoes, a black hat and a grenade on the collar of his jacket.
- How did you get to the front? - The journalist clarifies.
- I just came, I don't even have any documents, I bought a machine gun and went ahead. I had two brothers there and I followed them and stayed. I am a French citizen, I came from there two weeks ago. This is not a war against man, but a war against planes, against Grad.
"Yesterday we visited Hadrut (a city heavily bombed in Karabakh during all the days of the war), and the officers came and said that the commander would be tried. He gathered all the young people at night a few days ago and told them to leave Jabrayil. He did not obey the commands from above. "They are children, they have been called for ten days, but they are given weapons," he said. What are you doing? Where will this child go? Well, I've been through the service, but even that service won't help there. Aircraft and artillery. "I'm like a corpse living there."
According to the correspondent of the Russian publication, the French mercenary was openly dissatisfied with the military command of the occupiers and the Armenian leadership.
"Everything is very bad there," he said. We came from the first line in Jabrayil, ”said Arthur's friend.
"The authorities say the losses are about 200. But 200 people died in front of me, on our line! There are thousands of dead in total! ”Arthur said confidently.
- It is said in Armenia that we have very bad people in power: "Gabriel, go ahead," but he is no longer there, "added another volunteer in a simple jeans and camouflage jacket.
"I looked at this war and realized that if we fight like this, we will give everything. "Azerbaijan wants to return Lachin, but they are so brave that they can even come to Armenia," Arthur said.
It should be noted that the Armenian Foreign Ministry has revoked the accreditation of Novaya Gazeta correspondent Ilya Azara to work in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Russian journalist said this on his Facebook account.
According to him, the previously issued accreditation card was revoked and journalistic activity was banned.
"However, like other journalists, I was officially accredited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work in Karabakh. According to the allegations, the accreditation procedure was changed during the process (when I was in Karabakh, which the NKR border guards release without any questions), and I was informed about it by e-mail (!).
The unofficial (and main) reason, as they explained to me, was my interview from Shusha and Lachin. According to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it caused a negative resonance in the society (this is true).
Ilya Azar also stressed that there were no false facts in this article.
