Forrights.am.Sargis Galstyan, the former director of the Artsakh President, who has now been sentenced to 18 years in prison on 18 years in prison on Azerbaijan's spying on Azerbaijan, and has not yet advertised the accusations. He is currently in the "Kentron" prison of the National Security Service, living with thoughts on the past.
Margarita Shahnazaryan agreed to talk to forrights.am, saying that her husband Sargis Galstyan is sad these days, not because it is imprisoned for a tribe, but because he could not imagine his life without Artsakh.
It is known that Sargis Galstyan is of 2-3 dozen people who did not go out of Stepanakert and lived in the possession of the enemy for some time in Stepanakert. "There were shops, restaurants, opened, gasoline was sold, but we didn't leave anywhere.
We only went to the store for bread. There was all the rest in our house. We sat in the car, we went to the store, once we went out, we were turning, we took my longing for Stepanakert.
The worrying was that they could approach you on the street, asking where you were going, you were showing who you were, and you continued your way, "Margarita recalls." Margarita recalls. To the question why they preferred to stay in Stepanakert, we stayed in our homeland, it is natural. It was my husband's choice, and I left my husband and I didn't know whether he would stay alive or not. I couldn't leave him alone. Where my husband is there? " Sargis Galstyan's wife considers her and her husband a victim of the carelessness. It tells the days that the Armenian churches in Artsakh, the Dedo and Babon, were demolished, and they wanted to be useful to compatriots, they went and spread the staff of the Artsakh Symbol, which had banned the Azerbaijani authorities.
"We have gone, we have painted that Dedo-Babon Babo is in place, and wrote that the Turk had taken us to walk to Dedo Babo, and all the media spread that lie. If they were not, there would be no judicial process. I asked if I wrote that my materials were not spreading that you endangered my life, but our Armenians spread those materials, and I put it in all the TV programs, and how would we stay in Stepanakert? " is the woman.
The second blow was the false news of the "Haykakan Zhamanak", but the media of the Azerbaijani president, who was appointed Sargis Galstyan. Later, the news was refuted, and months later it became known that the Azerbaijanis suspected Galstyan in the video of the atrocities they made in Stepanakert. Galstyan, making sure that it is impossible to live in a hostile environment, moved to Armenia with his wife in March 2024. They were arrested in Goris.
Later, Galstyan's lawyer Alexander Kamubayev told the media how the loudness of espionage was "sewn". All evidence submitted by the Investigation Committee was denied in court with the testimony of former officials.
Artsakh President Samvel Shahramanyan, the former Minister of Azerbaijan, and the director of the NSS of Shushi region Andrey Grigoryan testified in the case of Sargis Galstyan in court. In particular, Andrey Grigoryan told the court that Sargis Galstyan told him regularly, he said that he wanted to enter the documents and remove documents from there that he had received calls from the Azerbaijani numbers.
