12.11.2021 | 12:29In a Facebook post, Armenia’s ombudsman Arman Tatoyan presents the findings with regard to the customs border points established by Azerbaijan on the Goris-Kapan road.
“Throughout the day, the working group of the Human Rights Defender’s Office carried out urgent fact-finding work in Syunik, including primarily related to the illegal Azerbaijani border and customs control on the Goris-Kapan road. The impact of Azerbaijani illegal actions on human rights, as well as the situation of the rights of the residents of the neighboring communities of the Republic of Armenia, has been studied. The obtained facts confirm that there have been serious violations of human rights in Syunik, including those of the residents of the communities (children, people with disabilities, the elderly, etc.), and, in general, serious humanitarian problems. A very precarious situation has arisen for the people,” the post says in parts.
