ArmInfo. What is happening in Tavush has nothing to do with the delimitation and demarcation of the state border, Armenia's former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan stated.
According to him, this is an illegal process, contrary to international rules, with the prospect of massive violations of our rights and a threat to security.
"Azerbaijan will not stop there. Azerbaijani armed forces will appear in the vicinity of the communities of Tavush, which will lead to the isolation of the communities. In addition, various sections of the interstate road will become unusable and dangerous, and the so-called alternative roads will not fill the gap. The Armenians will be especially at risk -Georgian border traffic through Tavush.
Strategic objects (gas pipelines, water resources, etc.) will become an Azerbaijani target or will come under the control of Azerbaijan.
There will be new deportations, people will be deprived of the opportunity to move freely and safely, earn a family income, and pastures, meadows and arable lands, gardens will become unusable, the dignity and peace of mind of people will be violated," Tatoyan noted.
"In other words, he continued, what is happening in Syunik, Vayots Dzor and Gegharkunik will happen, with an emphasis on strategic security issues. Not to mention the increasing cases of Azerbaijani mine explosions or shootings near populated areas of Armenia."
"Since November 2020, I have constantly and in every possible way said that security cannot be separated from people, that human rights must be placed at the core of Armenia's diplomacy and discussions at all international platforms. This would help strengthen the international defense of Armenia, including by protecting state borders.
What is happening now is the result of a policy pursued with gross mistakes, which has only strengthened and continues to strengthen Azerbaijan and weaken the position of Armenia," Tatoyan concluded.
Earlier, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, during a conversation with residents of border villages, said that if Yerevan does not comply with Baku's demands to transfer a number of border villages to Azerbaijan, then a war will begin. And in case of war, Trkiye will support Azerbaijan.
