Oppositionist: The incident with the Armenian shepherd clearly  demonstrates the vulnerability of our border settlements

ArmInfo. The incident with the Armenian shepherd, who was returned to his homeland thanks to the efforts of Russian peacekeepers, clearly demonstrates the  vulnerability of our border settlements, Tigran Abrahamyan, an MP  from the opposition I Have Honor bloc, believes. At the same time, he  expressed his conviction that the Armenian forces serving on this  section of the border should have prevented the shepherd from  entering the danger zone.

"It was necessary to record the movement of 4 Azerbaijani servicemen  in the direction of the Armenian section of the border zone. By the  same logic, the Azerbaijanis could have gone down to the Goris-Tegh-  Stepanakert highway and staged a provocation that would have been  neither recorded nor prevented.  "Solutions" for the current  government of Armenia are within the framework of the  Armenian-Turkish flirtation and unrequited love for Azerbaijan," the  parliamentarian expressed his conviction. 

As ArmInfo previously reported, yesterday, four armed servicemen of  Azerbaijan, using force, took away the Armenian shepherd in Syunik.   As Armenian Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan reported, the  incident occurred when an Armenian shepherd was grazing sheep in a  pasture at the intersection of the villages of Tegh, Aravus and  Khnatsakh.  "At about 3:30pm, 4 armed servicemen of Azerbaijan,  noticing a civilian of the Republic of Armenia, descended from their  positions by about 150 meters, shouting at him, pushing him away by  force in the direction of Tsitsernavank. They also stole 400-450  heads of sheep", he reported.  Tatoyan noted that what happened once  again indicates that the criminal actions of the Azerbaijani armed  forces violate the personal freedom, right to life and property of  peaceful Armenian citizens.  "Representatives of the Russian Border  Service, who are working on the return of the RA citizen and his  sheep, have been informed about the incident. This incident proves  that there should not be any Azerbaijani employees near the Armenian  villages and on the roads," Tatoyan wrote, noting that the issue  needs to be urgently resolved by creating a demilitarized security  zone. Late last night, it became known that the shepherd was handed  over to Russian peacekeepers " And today there is already information  that the shepherd is at home, nothing threatens his life. However,  according to the information, more than 200 sheep have not been  returned to the Armenian side, negotiations are underway on this  issue.
