Tavushets journalist Oskan Sargsyan raises the alarm.
"Nikol Pashinyan declared that the Kirantsi wall is the greatest success of the 3rd republic, because, according to him, Armenia got a "state border, peace and security, but in a small part" from it. At the meeting with the residents of Kiratz, Pashinyan stated, "We want you to say, 'Wow, what's so good that 50 meters away is Azerbaijan...'" I asked the residents of Kirants if they feel peace and security in that part of the border.
Residents said that they feel anxiety and danger, because every day they see the flag of Azerbaijan erected on the territory handed over to Azerbaijan, they see that Azerbaijani soldiers appear there, Azerbaijanis are having fun in that area.
The family of Mher Avalyan, a resident of Kirants who lives next to the border wall, watches with concern every day what is happening in the territory handed over to Azerbaijan under the name of demarcation. In the 64 hectares of arable land handed over to Azerbaijan, in contrast to the previous year, the residents of Kirants did not sow at all in the area between the 2 Azerbaijani strongholds. This summer, the Azerbaijani side did not allow a combine harvester to pass through the village of Khermili to harvest about 14 hectares of grain in that area.
The people of Azerbaijan themselves harvested several hectares of wheat fields sown by the residents of Kirants in the area near Khermili guid. After the demarcation and handing over of the territories, very few cattle remained in Kirants, while there were 14 cow keepers in the village. Since the pastures of the village were handed over to Azerbaijan, last year Sevkar forestry closed the forest in the Voskepar section from Kirants with barbed wire, Kirants was left without a pasture."
