Telegram channels have leaked a scandalous recording of a telephone conversation between Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunyan and former Artsakh lawmaker Ruslan Israelyan which was held after presidential spokesman Vahram Poghosyan announced about the capture of the fortress town of Shushi by the Azerbaijani armed forces.
In the recording, Arayik Harutyunyan says that he has been asking for help from Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan for 10 days, but to no avail.
Political scientist, researcher at the YSU Center for Strategic Studies Edgar Elbakyan shared a transcript of the conversation on his Facebook page, writing: “This telephone conversation between Artsakh Republic President Arayik Harutyunyan and Ruslan Israelyan, apparently, took place on November 4-9, 2020. Below is the transcript of the conversation without any comments, as they are superfluous.”
Incidentally, Ruslan Israelyan confirmed the authenticity of the leaked recording to Lurer.com. “Yes, this is my telephone conversation. Unfortunately, I don’t know who recorded it,” he said.
