Kirants resident: The territories in Kirants, which are now being ceded, are high grounds of strategic importance

Through a clever policy, there can be peace without war, there can be peace without a cession of lands, Gevorg Simonyan, a resident of Kirants, told ABC media.

“There can be no cession of lands in return for peace. The territories in Kirants that they want to cede to the enemy are of strategic importance: these are bridges and high grounds, which they want to be theirs, but these territories are our lands. They say that the cadastral papers are fake and that there was a mistake,” he said.

According to Gevorg Simonyan, during the meeting with the residents and officials of the village, the authorities did not give them any security guarantees.

In response to the question as to whether there will be security guarantees that there will be no incidents and the residents of the village will live in peace, after the border delimitation is completed, the authorities said that it may be peaceful for a few days, but they cannot guarantee that it will be peaceful the next day, noting that there may be incidents that they cannot control.
