It is necessary to compare the recent military operations in Tavush and those in April 2016. The 3rd President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan announced about this today, on 19 August, during his press conference.

Of course, it would be desirable for our society, including me, to be a little more fully informed about the heroism for which all 71 people who have been awarded, or should be awarded the “Order of the Combat Cross”, should be awarded with these very high orders. This is a very important circumstance, especially for me,” Serzh Sargsyan said.

He also mentioned in his speech the news related to the information previously received by the intelligence. “We did not know that a large-scale operation was planned by Azerbaijan,” the resigned president said.
