The day after the war, I volunteered for Karabakh and did my best to help: for a few days in the army, then as an adviser to the "president." According to Sputnik Armenia, this statement was made by former Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan. “I helped organize volunteer groups in Shusha and its vicinity and interact with the army.
I want to refute the information that I led the operation in Shusha. I also want to refute the idea that the city was betrayed. This is not the case, "Ohanyan said. He noted that attacks and counter-attacks continued on November 6-7. According to Ohanyan, the Armenian gangs fought in the conditions of a significant numerical advantage of the Azerbaijanis (as well as the dominance of UAVs). The control post in Shusha, where Ohanyan himself was with the commander, was evacuated after a 10-hour siege. "One of the reasons for the fall of Shusha was the numerical superiority of the enemy. Azerbaijanis were able to enter the city indirectly due to the surrounding forests. "After that, the fighting continued, but the numerical advantage and the air advantage were decisive," Ohanyan said. As for the information that certain units are still on the outskirts of Shusha, S. Ohanyan said that he knew this only at the level of rumors. "Despite the heroic fighting of the military, the Armenian side was defeated again. Not only the army, but also the military-political leadership is to blame for the defeat. "The people must decide what responsibility the current government has for this."
