ArmInfo.The presence of the Azerbaijani armed forces (flags and signs) on the roads  connecting the communities of the Syunik region of the Republic of  Armenia contradicts the foundations of the international human rights  system, violates the rule of law and, therefore, does not have any  legal basis.

The RA Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan announced this on his  Facebook page.  According to the Ombudsman, the appearance of flags  and signs in these places was the result of terrorist methods of the  policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide against Armenians in Artsakh,  torture and inhuman treatment of civilians and the military, and  other atrocities..

(decapitation of living people, insulting bodies, etc.). The Human  Rights Defender of Armenia believes that jihadists and ISIS  terrorists were used against Artsakh, who committed war crimes and  atrocities against Armenians. The civilian settlements of Artsakh  underwent deliberate mass destruction, including with the use of  prohibited cluster weapons. From the first day of the war, all these  actions were accompanied by the state policy of inciting  anti-Armenian hatred and enmity towards the Armenians.

Armag Tatoyan recalls that during the war more than 100,000 civilians  were forced to leave their permanent places of residence, and about  40,000 people were left homeless. The top leadership of Azerbaijan  and Turkey speaks openly about Armenia and everything Armenian   in  the language of threats and genocide. The highest bodies of  Azerbaijan and public figures insult the Armenians, the entire  Armenian people in order to humiliate their dignity, encourage and  publicly incite hatred. The process of defining the borders of  Armenia is taking place under the threat of war and the use of force.  Because of the threat of war, borders are determined by mechanical  methods and with unacceptable speed, without professional work, with  gross violations of international rules, the rights and legitimate  interests of the border residents of Armenia are ignored.

The process, according to Arman Tatoyan, is accompanied by gross  violations of property, economic and other socio-economic rights of  the border residents of Armenia. Other rights to life, dignity,  physical, psychological integrity and vital importance of the  residents of the border regions of Syunik, Gegharkunik and the entire  population of Armenia, which, in general, are under serious threat,  have also been violated.  There is no predictability and certainty  for residents of border areas. "Consequently, the determination of  the boundaries with the described approaches will not contribute to  the peaceful coexistence of peoples in the region. On the contrary,  it will create fertile ground for incessant hatred and enmity towards  Armenians in Azerbaijan, constant gross violations of human rights  and other dangerous manifestations," the Ombudsman of Armenia said in  a statement.
