Ombudsman of Armenia reports on activity of armed forces of  Azerbaijan in RA Gegharkunik region 

Ombudsman of Armenia reports on activity of armed forces of  Azerbaijan in RA Gegharkunik region 

ArmInfo.Human Rights Defender (HRD) of Armenia Arman Tatoyan reports on the activity of the armed forces of Azerbaijan in the Gegharkunik region of the  Republic of Armenia, where they invaded in May of this year.

Thus, according to the RA Ombudsman, the armed forces of Azerbaijan,  which invaded the Gegharkunik region of the RA, built large shelters,  accumulated a large amount of firewood and concreted the roads  leading to the positions.

"Their activity has sharply increased recently. Moreover, they  continue to build new roads, increase the number of military  personnel and weapons in their positions. Constantly carry out active  engineering work to strengthen their positions. We are talking about  the illegal placement and criminal actions of Azerbaijanis in the  sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. They are physically  present on the very lands that legally belong to the citizens of the  Republic of Armenia, on the basis of the established legal  documents," Tatoyan emphasized, noting the reliability of the  information, which was verified and confirmed, including by the  regional office of the Human Rights Defender.

"These are the Azerbaijani positions from which Azerbaijani  servicemen commit terrorist acts against the civilian population of  Armenia. They periodically fire at the villages of Verin Shorzha,  Sotk, Kut, Gegharkunik region of the Republic of Armenia and other  regions, in particular residential buildings, set fire to pastures  and meadows of civilians. Servicemen of these positions committed a  large number of thefts of animals from the residents of the Republic  of Armenia.

The presence of the Azerbaijani armed forces in the vicinity of the  villages of the Republic of Armenia and on the sovereign territory of  the Republic of Armenia is outright criminal activity, in itself  violates the vital rights of the villagers - the right to life and  live in safety, property and family income. Their presence disrupts  the peaceful life of people," Tatoyan stated.

The Human Rights Defender of Armenia is convinced of the need to  immediately begin the establishment of a demilitarized security zone  around the borders of the Republic of Armenia, the immediate removal  of Azerbaijani servicemen from the vicinity of villages in the  Republic of Armenia and roads between communities.  "This proposal of  the RA Human Rights Defender is included in a special international  document - Resolution 2021 of the Parliamentary Assembly of the  Council of Europe (PACE). Resolution No. 2391 (2021) of September 27.  The Human Rights Defender will also send relevant reports on this  matter to international organizations, state bodies of the Republic  of Armenia and civil society organizations.

It is obvious that the basis of Azerbaijani criminal acts, gross  violations of human rights, and the source of their replenishment is  the same - the policy of hatred and enmity as well as the genocidal  and ethnic cleansing policy of the Azerbaijani authorities, "the  Ombudsman of Armenia summed up.

It should be reminded that on May 12 and May 13, the Azerbaijani  armed forces illegally invaded and established themselves in two  areas of the sovereign territory of Armenia in the Gegharkunik and  Syunik regions of Armenia. They continue to be in these areas and  intimidate the civilian population to this day.
