Azerbaijani leader: There is no one in Armenia who wouldn't know of Serzhik's theft

"There was former Armenian president Serzhik Sarkisyan among those deserters," President Ilham Aliyev said while raising the Azerbaijani flag in Sugovushan settlement of Tartar region on October 3, Report informs, citing AzerTag.

"I was recently told that he had uttered some ugly words about Azerbaijan and the great leader – in full accordance with his level. He is the first deserter himself. Because he tampered in Khankandi during the war, as if he would do something there. But when he saw that the Azerbaijani Army was already coming and could grab him by the ear and bring him to Baku, he fled from there like a coward. I did not call him Serzhik Sarkisyan because I wanted to humiliate him, but this is his real name and surname. We have this information in our archives. His birth certificate and his Komsomol ticket state that his name is Serzhik Sarkisyan. Then he changed it to Serzh Sarkisyan as if Serzh is an acceptable name," the head of state said.

"This man has been known throughout his life as a thief, criminal, fraudster, traitor, and deserter all his life. There is no one in Armenia who wouldn't know of Serzhik's theft. The "war heroes" associated with him are either in prison or in hell today. The 'general' who sold 'soldier's stew' and is already burning in hell, Serzhik's right-hand man, shows the true face of the Armenian army and that of Serzhik. What words does a general who sells 'soldier's stew' during war deserve? Another right-hand man of Serzhik's, a war criminal who served as defense minister during the war, was recently arrested in Armenia for theft. He was buying faulty weapons and pocketing the money. We have ample information about this – both before and during the war. The ground was burning under their feet, the Azerbaijani Army was advancing every day, but the Armenian defense minister was signing contracts to buy defective weapons and pocketing the money for the price difference. Such are Serzhik's pupils, thieves just like him," the head of state noted.
