ArmInfo. Human rights defender Arman Tatoyan visited the regions of Syunik and Gegharkunik, and identified a number of serious problems within the framework of border demarcation, which have no solution in the long term.
During the press conference, Tatoyan noted that there are a number of issues that pose direct threats to security and the right to life. As an example, he pointed to issues related to the legal field.
<Imagine what legislation will be applied if, for example, a traffic accident occurs in the so-called Azerbaijani territories. What if, for example, there was a crime? If we consider that this is the territory of Azerbaijan, then the Azerbaijani investigative bodies must come, carry out investigative actions or other proceedings against the citizens of Armenia and, plus everything, subject them to a wire to their investigative bodies?>, The Human Rights Defender asked. Tatoyan noted that these are issues that are not regulated at all.
"Our government agencies are not aware of these issues. The personnel of the Armed Forces of Armenia and the personnel of the border troops of the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia carry out heroic selfless service on the ground. Russian border troops also play an important role. However, what I am worried about is legal issues for which there are no regulations, they need to be urgently addressed, "concluded the Human Rights Defender of Armenia.
