Minval Politika has published an account of a previously unknown episode from the First Karabakh War, saying that former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan, who at the time headed a separatist administration, organised a leak of information to the Azerbaijani side.
As a result of the leak, around 100 Armenian servicemen were caught in a fatal trap and subsequently killed by Azerbaijani forces, Caliber.Az reports.
The publication states that during 1992–1993, amid an operation on the Agdara–Kalbajar direction, disagreements arose between Kocharyan and Armenia’s Ministry of Defence.
It further notes that Kocharyan, to prove his authority and indispensability, created conditions in which about 100 Armenian soldiers were encircled and destroyed, and that he had previously arranged for the information to be passed to the Azerbaijani side.
“The man who shot up parliament for power and, to retain it, carried out the March massacre of his own people, during the occupation war against Azerbaijan, did not hesitate to sacrifice ‘his own,’” the publication wrote.
