Armenia’s Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan today met with Matthias Lüttenberg, Director for Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus and Central Asia Countries of the German Foreign Ministry, and German Ambassador to Armenia Viktor Richter, the Ombudsman’s Office reported.
Tatoyan presented on concrete facts and examples about the violations of rights of Armenia’s border residents by the Azerbaijani servicemen. He told them that since November 2020, the Azerbaijani armed forces are illegally deployed near the villages in Armenia’s Gegharkunik and Syunik provinces and on the roads between the communities of Syunik province.
“In addition to the human rights violations that are taking place almost every day, the Azerbaijani armed forces have also illegally blocked the Goris-Kapan and Kapan-Chakaten highways in Syunik. As a result the villages near these roads have appeared in isolation and are facing humanitarian problems”, the Ombudsman said, adding that the alternative road is not a solution as people’s right to life and security is not ensured.
