No Armenian politician has done what Robert Kocharyan did in the years
of war in Karabakh, says Member of Parliament Arthur Aghabekyan, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun, ex-deputy minister of defense. He made this statement
on September 21 at the Hayatsk press club when the reporters asked him
to compare the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed force of
Armenia and the supreme commander-in-chief-to-be. "No Armenian
politician has done what Robert Kocharyan did in 1988, 1989, 1990,
1992," Arthur Aghabekyan stated. However, the reporters reminded him
that in those years Levon Ter-Petrosyan was the supreme
commander-in-chief.

"I am sorry that in that period the commanders did not feel the
supreme commander-in-chief on their back, are not aware of his
decisions. This period is a little different, and I think there is
much more to tell about it but we will tell after the settlement of
the Karabakh issue. Or we will tell in our memoirs," Arthur Aghabekyan
says.

He thinks the society should learn about the role of Vazgen Sargsyan
in that period. "Frankly speaking, we must appreciate Vazgen
Sargsyan’s mission. As a supreme commander-in-chief, Robert
Kocharyan’s ability to make decisions had major influence on our
victories," Arthur Aghabekyan says.
