ArmInfo.Over the last year, the residents of the Taghavard community have repeatedly raised the issue of access to the community cemetery, which has been under Azerbaijan`s control since the end of the 2020 war, reported Artsakh Human Rights Defender Gegham Stepanyan.
The cemetery is located a few kilometers of the part of the community populated by the Taghavard residents.
"The people have the right to pay tribute to the memory of their late relatives and visit their tombs. But the Azerbaijani side will not show understanding and does not allow the residents to do it.
"I would like to draw the attention of our government agencies and Russian peacekeepers, as well as international human rights organizations, to this humanitarian problem.
"Not only the Taghavard residents, but also all the residents of the occupied territories of Artsakh are concerned over this important issue," Mr Stepanyan said.
