Colonel General Movses Hakobyan:

- Defeat is an opportunity to create a new victory.

- The first big reason for the defeat is the management. Leading the armed forces from peaceful conditions to the state of war and in a state of war. https://twitter.com/301_AD/status/1329040279886770177

- After my resignation [from the Chief of Staff General Staff after the revolution], I told the Prime Minister that you had appointed the the most unpopular general (talking about Artak Davtyan).

The armed forces have an information center, one of the tasks of which is to mislead the enemy. That is, the spread of false information. But there is such a principle: 30% is false information, and the rest is true. But our false information was more than 100%. - Hakobyan

Hokobyan added that this is precisely why after the signing of the trilateral agreement by the leaders of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, many could not understand and still do not understand why this document was signed.

Mobilization was not carried out [efficiently] during the war.
As of the 30th of October, it was carried out at 70% in the Republic of Artsakh, and 52% in the Republic of Armenia, while the mobilization was to be carried out within 48 hours [after the start of the war].

On the third day of the war, the Prime Minister of the country issued an order to stop the supply [of regular army reserves/troops], and to supplement it with volunteer detachments - Hakobyan

On the 5th day of the war, we already had 1,500 people who had fled whom we isolated so that they would not come to Armenia and spread panic - Hakobyan

We failed on the right and on the left flanks.
These military units were to be replenished [with troops] from the Karabakh, Stepanakert, from where the recruitment was carried out by 32%, and from the Republic of Armenia, where the recruitment was not complete.

After the revolution, the composition of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff almost doubled (by 98%), and the number of military personnel who, if necessary, had to fight, was reduced - Hakobyan

During my stay in Karabakh, my main function was to exclude non-military personnel from being in the command headquarters - Movses Hakobyan

Mrs. Anna [PM's wife] was sitting and watching. She was not interfering.
I approached her and asked her to leave so as not to embarrass the boys. She said well & left 20 minutes later.
4 hours after that I was called to Yerevan and banned from going to Karabakh - Movses Hakobyan

Iskander missiles was used during the war, but I will not mention where - Movses Hakobyan

There is only one person who I will insult, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, who lied 30 times a day. The highest position this person has occupied in the armed forces was a platoon commander and he was doing analysis - Movses Hakobyan

The Su-30SM fighters that are in Armenia are without missiles intended for them. I warned the leadership about this.
There is a special decree in Russia that prohibits the sale of missiles for the Su-30SM to other countries...

...I was offered to purchase these fighters when I was the head of the General Staff, but I refused and reported to the country's leadership the reason for not buying them.

We were able to neutralize the Turkish Bayraktars for 4 days using the newest Pole-21 electronic warfare system, but then the enemy was able to reconfigure their systems and re-use the drones.
