MP demands legal assessment of MoD rep`s statement from RA Prosecutor  Gen

ArmInfo. The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Armenia must give a legal assessment to the speech on the Public Television of Armenia of the former official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the  Republic of Armenia, the head of the Command and Staff Institute  named after Marshal Baghramyan of the Military Academy of the RA  Ministry of Defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan. This was stated on May 12  from the rostrum of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia  by the Secretary of the opposition faction "Armenia" of the National  Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Artsvik Minasyan.

On May 9, speaking on PTA, Artsrun Hovhannisyan stated that Germany's  victory in the Great Patriotic War would have been beneficial to  Armenia. According to him, the Battle of Stalingrad prevented Germany  from capturing Turkey and creating a united Armenia. "One of the most  difficult myths for us is that the Battle of Stalingrad allegedly  saved Armenia from the Turkish invasion," Artsrun Hovhannisyan said.

In this regard, the opposition MP called on the RA Prosecutor General  Anna Vardapetyan to conduct an investigation into these statements,  especially in the context of the fight against the crimes against  humanity committed by Nazi Germany.

"In essence, we are talking about justifying the regime of Adolf  Hitler and the crimes he committed. Moreover, in his statements, the  representative of the RA Ministry of Defense allowed the  falsification of history, stating that Hitler's Germany allegedly  aimed to recreate historical Armenia, just as they are trying to  falsify the modern history of our country today," the oppositionist  said.
