Russia State Duma MP comments on Armenia PM's statement about Iskander missiles
The statement by Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan about the allegedly unexploded missiles of the Iskander operative-tactical complex attest—at the very least—to his lack of knowledge, Russian State Duma MP Dmitry Sablin told RIA Novosti.
He noted this commenting on Pashinyan’s statement that the Iskander’s missiles had not exploded, or "exploded by 10 percent," during the recent war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
"People who have a better understanding of the matters of war and peace know that this [the Iskander] is the best universal operational-tactical complex; the weapon of the 21st century. Iskander has established its high profile in the war against terror in Syria," Sablin added in particular.
In his opinion, however, the matter is not only the lack of knowledge of the Armenian PM. "The Soros methods betrayed Pashinyan... This is another testimony of how the street brings to power—with loud beautiful slogans, a foreign, hostile scenario—a man who destroys his country; not only the citizens of Armenia were able to become convinced of this," the Russian MP added.
