Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan hinted at the inoperability of the Russian Iskander operational-tactical missile systems (OTRK) in his recent interview. Russian State Duma member Viktor Zavarzin commented on the Armenian PM's remarks in an interview with  "Govorit Moskva" radio station.  To remind, Pashinyan declared on Tuesday that Iskander system 'did not explode or exploded by 10%' in the recent Artsakh war. 

In the words of the Russian MP, Pashinyan thus tries "to absolve himself from guilt for the Nagorno Karabakh war outcomes."

"If a person tries to clear himself from the blame, he would speculate about Inskanders, likewise blame the Armenian people and the military. That is not true, of course. The Iskander systems have high accuracy in hitting the targets, proved in numerous military exercises. That [ed. Pashinyan's statement] is an absolute lie. They were used in Syria with high accuracy," said the parliamentarian.
