Գաղտնի պահված տեսանյութը հենց հիմա իսկական ֆուրոր է առաջացրել համացանցում
Ասում են, թե ժամանակին նոր-նոր իր առաջին քայլերն անող Նիկոլ Փաշինյանի նկատմամբ այն օրերի ՆԳ նախարար, ապա քաղաքապետ Վանո Սիրաղեղյանն անչափ սիրագորով է եղել, ավելին՝ հանձնարարել է Արարատ Զուրաբյանին՝ «աչքը պահել վրան, նեղացնող չլինի»։
Հիշենք՝ այն օրերին սկսնակ լրագրող Փաշինյանը լուրջ բախում ունեցավ նախագահ Լեւոն Տեր-Պետրոսյանի մամլո քարտուղար Լեւոն Զուրաբյանի հետ, բանը հասավ ձեռնամարտի։
Դրանից հետո արդեն՝ Քոչարյանի օրոք հրապարակումներից մեկի պատճառով Նիկոլի դեմ քրեական գործ հարուցվեց։
Քրեական հետապնդման մեջ էր նաեւ Վանոն, որը հեռացավ Հայաստանից, իսկ երբ առաջին անգամ վերադարձավ, նրան ոգեւորված դիմավորողը Նիկոլ Փաշինյանն էր։
