This was the first known operation against Russian forces. Ioannisyan

Daniel Ioannisyan, head of the "Union of Informed Citizens" organization, wrote:

"The officers of the Armenian-Russian unit of the "Arbat" brigade of the "Pyatnashka" (15th Donetsk) brigade of the Ministry of Defense of Russia tried to carry out an armed coup in Armenia. Judging by the technique used, it can be asserted that the special services also participated in preparing the coup in addition to the Russian Ministry of Defense officers.

Also, this was the first known operation carried out by Armenian forces against Russian forces. Long live the boys (and, maybe, the girls, too)."
