ArmInfo.Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan listed six main factors that guarantee the rights of the citizens of the Republic of Armenia, the border residents of the Republic of Armenia and their natural life.
Thus, Tatoyan's report states that, firstly, it is impossible to justify the deployment of Azerbaijanis in the vicinity of the villages of Gegharkunik and Syunik, on the roads of Syunik along the borders of Soviet Armenia or Azerbaijan on the basis of maps of the 1970s, 1980s, 1940s (whether, for example, 1975-1976, 1985, 1942), or other maps, or on GPS data.
According to him, there has never been any demarcation or delimitation between Armenia and Azerbaijan as sovereign states, let alone any international document.
Secondly, the Ombudsman continued, what took place in the Soviet Union was not the definition of state borders between two sovereign states - Armenia and Azerbaijan, but the administrative division of borders between two subjects within one sovereign state of the USSR.
"The Soviet maps are just about that. By the way, why are the maps of the 20s not mentioned in the border processes of today?",- asked Tatoyan.
Third, the Human Rights Defender believes that the process of defining the state borders of Armenia cannot be associated with the process of administrative division, since these are two completely different phenomena.
Fourth, in the process of determining the state border of the Republic of Armenia, the borders and maps of the First Republic of Armenia cannot be ignored. This is required by the imperative of a real guarantee of the rights of the citizens of the Republic of Armenia and its population.
Fifth, the current Azerbaijani deployment was carried out with gross and massive violations of international norms, including human rights, under the real threat of war and the use of force, in the conditions of Azerbaijan's open genocidal policy," the Ombudsman stressed.
Sixth, Tatoyan believes that the process of defining state borders cannot violate the natural life of border residents or create obstacles to the realization of other rights of a citizen of the state, his legitimate interests, including life and physical security, safe living of children, cultivation of his own land, full use of water resources, pastures and meadows.
