Vladimir Poghosyan: Blowing up the Crimean bridge is the work of the Turkish intelligence

It is clear that the Ukraine carried out all logistics, purchase of explosives, delivery, allocation of funds, and it does not hide this. But the recruitment of suicide bombers was carried out by the Turkish intelligence. There can be no other intelligence there, security expert Vladimir Poghosyan believes.

Vladimir Poghosyan: Blowing up the Crimean bridge is the work of  the Turkish intelligence

YEREVAN (Realist English). On October 8, at about 6:00 Moscow time, an explosion occurred on the Crimean Bridge. On the evening of October 9, President Vladimir Putin heard a report by Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin on the terrorist attack.

According to Putin, “the authors and perpetrators and customers of which are the special services of the Ukraine.” In turn, Bastrykin explained that not only the special services of Ukraine are behind the crime, but also “citizens of Russia and of foreign countries who helped in the preparation of the terrorist attack.”

Who can be those who ultimately benefit from and have ordered the terrorist act on the Crimean Bridge? Vladimir Poghosyan, an expert in the field of national security, answered the question of the Realist News Agency:

“If we look at how all this was organized, starting with how the truck was moving and where it was coming from, it becomes clear that such a quantity of explosives had to be purchased somewhere, stored somewhere, logistics had to be prepared, explosives experts had to be prepared. They received information about the approach of the cargo train, where there were petroleum products, checked the approximate speed of the train on the bridge, calculated the speed of freight transport, it was necessary to know clearly how long it would take to enter the bridge itself, how long it would take for checking.

It was necessary to calculate possible risks, to think over storage facilities, delivery of explosives to the warehouse, loading into the cargo truck. All this suggests that serious preparation has been carried out by the sabotage group that carried out this operation.

I think this is a most complete failure of the Russian special services. Apparently, the sabotage group also had operational information about the time of the train’s departure, where and what was in these tanks. If there was no direct high-explosive or incendiary fragmentation damage, then most likely there was gasoline in one of the tanks.

As you know, the flash point of gasoline is zero. It can explode from the slightest detonation and go through all the cars. But not everything worked out the way they planned. Not all cars were blown up, the bridge was not completely destroyed, but the operation itself speaks of a high level of preparation. They did everything they wanted inside Russia.

I am sure that not only the Ukrainian special services are behind this. If we look at the surnames of those who bought and from whom they bought – these are persons of non-Slavic nationality. These are not Christians. Judging by the way the nearby cargo transport and passenger transport were moving, most likely, there was also a suicide bomber in the car nearby, who carried out the duplication function. That is, the driver of the cargo transport could fail to activate the explosive device, for this purpose of controlling the situation the was accompanied by a passenger car, whose tasks included remote detonation in case the truck driver suddenly changed his mind.

Judging by the surname, these people have Muslim roots. I am not in any way casting a shadow on the world of Islam, I am talking purely about professional issues.

In the Christian philosophy and traditions there is no such thing as a “suicide bomber” who undermines himself. We, as Christians, can close the embrasure with ourselves, throw ourselves under a tank, blow ourselves up with a grenade along with the tank, but to be recruited on religious grounds is definitely not a Christian philosophy. And the special services that belong to Christian states have no chance of recruiting suicide bombers. Such Islamic countries as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey and others have such experience.

Coming from the names and the very technique of the operation of the explosion, everything suggests that the only beneficiary of such an operation are the Turkish special services. I am 100% sure, not because I am Armenian and I don’t like Turkey.

I speak from a professional point of view, as a person who has studied the Turkish special services and their behavior for many years of his life. The only beneficiary from other Islamic countries is Turkey. All factors point to it. But this does not mean that it carried out the operation from beginning to end.

It is clear that the Ukraine carried out all logistics, purchase of explosives, delivery, allocation of funds. And it does not hide this. But the recruitment of suicide bombers was carried out by the Turkish intelligence. There can be no other intelligence there. The Ukraine will not be able to recruit a single Muslim, to drive into his head the idea of becoming a “shahid” or someone else to undermine himself. And no Muslim will take such a step when carrying out recruitment activities by any of the Christians, even if he is dealing with a Muslim operative. This requires deep knowledge and skills that only the special services of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey possess. Besides Turkey, none of these countries has anything to do with the terrorist attack: the Turkish regime has not denied its assistance to the Ukraine before.

We know what Crimea is for Turkey. The Turks never abandoned their claims to the peninsula. Today, Turkish television even describes plans according to which Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Cyprus and Greece will be under their control by 2050.

By the way, we have verified information that the special services of three states – Israel, Azerbaijan and Turkey – are involved in the destabilization of Iran.

However, the Turkish intelligence is active not only there, but in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, as well as in Europe. Turkish formations have been created in the EU countries, which will have the duty to destabilize the situation at the onset of the “X hour”. First of all, these are Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. It is in these countries that there are quite large groups that are supervised by the Turkish special services for subsequent subversive activities.

I am sure that the Russian special services will come to the conclusion that Turkish intelligence VIN is behind the bombing of the Crimean bridge. Uniquely. I am also sure that when such information appears, Russia is unlikely to advertise it, because relations with the Erdoğan regime are now much more important to the Kremlin than its own national interests.”
