Mass protests against territorial concessions to Azerbaijan are taking place in Armenia
Residents of Armenia took to protests against territorial concessions to Azerbaijan. Currently, protesters have already blocked three highways. They demand to stop the border delimitation process.
Residents of the Tavush region of Armenia were among the first to protest. They express dissatisfaction with the agreements between Yerevan and Baku on border delimitation and spend the night in the open air, blocking the Voskepar-Kirants section of the interstate highway.
The border should not be established through unilateral concessions in favor of Azerbaijan
- say the protesters, emphasizing that such issues should be decided in a national referendum.
Now local law enforcement officers are trying to disperse them.
Let us remind you that protests in different regions of Armenia began after the decision of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to complete the delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan. According to the agreements reached, Baku will receive sovereignty over four settlements in the Tavush region.
Let us add that the delimitation of the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan became possible as a result of the short-term military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, in which Yerevan was defeated. After this, the Armenian authorities blamed Russia for the incident and announced their intention to develop cooperation with the West.
