ArmInfo. Since the early morning of May 2, RA Police forces have blocked all roads leading to the village of Kirants, bordering Azerbaijan.
As local residents note, the road leading to the village from the village of Berkaberd is blocked. As a result, even ambulances cannot reach Kirants. It became known that the health condition of the famous 92-year- old grandmother Lena, who joined the protests against the transfer of part of the village to Azerbaijan, has sharply deteriorated.
The situation in Kirants continues to remain extremely tense; the nerves of local residents have reached their peak, who believe that the law enforcement agencies of Armenia, through their actions, are actually opening the doors to the country to the enemy. More than 20 men from the village, whose relatives and friends died during the Artsakh war, were brought to prison.
The day before, in an interview with the Public Television of Armenia, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan noted that in the coming days the process of delimiting the border in non- problematic areas of the village of Kirants will begin.
The Prime Minister noted that there are 11 points in the village that are subject to delimitation. Pashinyan especially noted that, in general, the village residents do not dispute the already agreed border; they have objections to 3-4 points. "We will begin delimitation in that part that is not disputed by the village residents, but we will look for solutions to the remaining points. We must do everything to protect the rights of the villagers," Pashinyan said.
On April 19, the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs, following the results of the eighth meeting of state commissions, announced that Yerevan and Baku agreed to begin delimitation from the Tavush region and by July 1 to complete the approval of the draft regulations on the joint activities of delimitation commissions. Since the evening of the same day, residents of the border villages of Tavush, dissatisfied with these agreements, have been holding protests.
