ArmInfo. The village of Tigranashen must live and develop. Opposition Strong Armenia faction secretary of the RA National Assembly Tigran Abrahamyan stated this at a briefing on September 22,
According to him, the day before, faction members were in Tigranashen, where they took part in a symbolic tree-planting event. The faction secretary reminded that, under the law "On Administrative-Territorial Division," the village is part of the territory of Armenia. "It would be good if the authorities spoke more about the development of Tigranashen rather than about handing it over to Azerbaijan. And if we are talking about development or surrender, our faction chooses the former," Tigran Abrahamyan said.
He added that "Strong Armenia" had announced programs to be implemented in Tigranashen. It is planned to open an agricultural produce market in Tigranashen and to donate a playground to the community. "There is a serious problem with transportation: transport operating on a regular or other basis is not functioning. We decided to implement these programs using the bonus payments that were transferred to us," he said.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has spoken about issues related to this territory, while the Azerbaijani toponym Kyarki is mentioned in discussions.
