Armenia was defeated, but the Armenians weren’t defeated in the war in Nagorno-Karabakh. This is what Russian journalist, chairman of the board of directors of Izvestia newspaper’s editorial office Aram Gabrielyanov said in an interview with reporters today.

The Russian journalist expressed certainty that the city of Shushi was almost handed to the adversary.

“I know 150% that Shushi was handed. Semyon Pegov was standing in Karintak. When the illiterate spokesperson of the President of Nagorno-Karabakh (he was born in my mother’s village) wrote that Shushi has been transferred, I called Semyon Pegov on the phone and asked what was going on and if Shushi had been transferred, to which Pegov said the following: “How could it be transferred? I see how Armenian tanks are rising. Battles are underway there, 85% of the city is in the hands of Armenians, and Azerbaijani special detachment soldiers are in 15% of the city. Battles are taking place in all parts.” At that time, I told him what was being announced, but Pegov told me the following: “I don’t know what has been announced, I see what is going on here with my eyes, and everyone, even soldiers are telling me that it is impossible to seize Shushi.” The city was simply artificially transferred and sold,” Gabrielyanov said.
