<\/p>\n
Since 2021 (especially October), I have been presenting facts that Azerbaijan
\nhas been illegally stationing armed forces in the sovereign territory of
\nArmenia, namely near Kut, Norabak and Verin Shorzha villages of the Vardenis
\nMunicipality of the Gegharkunik Province. I have stated that Azerbaijan was
\nconcreting over the roads leading to their military positions, was building
\nhuge shelters, deploying military equipment, etc. Former Human Rights
\nDefender (Ombudsman) of Armenia Arman Tatoyan wrote this. <\/p>\n\n
“I was talking about this so that the Defense Ministry
\nand the government itself would have valid grounds to fight these criminal
\nacts.<\/p>\n
I have pointed out the risks posing to the residents. I have
\nmentioned that our servicemen defend the civilians. Thus, their right to life
\nand other rights are affected and need to be protected.<\/p>\n
And what was the Defense Minister doing in this regard? He
\nwas up to denying my reports; he was justifying the Azerbaijani actions and was
\nobscuring the facts of Azerbaijani invasions. He was so strenuous in his
\ndenials that we had to produce evidence. <\/p>\n
Why was he doing that? He was doing that for the sake of
\nposition and power. He was doing that so that no one would express frustration
\nat him and at the authorities? And after that he dared to call me, then to hang
\nup the phone — frightened — and to make false statements. <\/p>\n
Don’t you have anything to say now? Back then, I was talking
\nabout this very road. Here is the video the RA MoD has published today. We can
\nsee how quickly the Azerbaijani troops are moving along the road; we can see
\nwhat a good road it is. However, if measures had been taken to prevent this
\n— instead of obscuring it for the sake of power and position —
\nAzerbaijan would not be lavished with the opportunity to behave this way in the
\nsovereign territory of Armenia. <\/p>\n\n
Who — besides the Azerbaijani war criminals — is going to
\nshoulder the responsibility for the deaths and health of the servicemen killed
\nor wounded in these very places today? Who is going to bear the responsibility
\nfor this situation in the country?
