Bagrat Srbazan: formation of another working commission on delimitation is attempted to shift responsibility for this lawlessness to heads of communities
ArmInfo. The Prime Minister of Armenia established a new commission with the aim of shifting
responsibility for the crime being completed to the heads of the administrations of these communities, as well as to the people gathered here.
Primate of the Tavoush Diocese of the Armenian
Apostolic Church, His Holiness (Srbazan) Archbishop Bagrat Galstyan
stated this in a conversation with journalists when asked to comment
on the decision of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia
Nikol Pashinyan to form another working group under the commission on
delimitation of the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
which includes representatives of a number of communities of Tavush
communities.
"This decision is an attempt to make the Armenian people complicit in
this crime. This is an illegal decision that goes against the
legislation of Armenia. These actions do not correspond to a single
letter of our legislation. And as I said earlier, those people who
will participate in the work of this commissions - heads of
administrative units - they are also accomplices of this crime, all
responsibility will fall on their shoulders, let them think twice
before making a decision, look into the eyes of their children, wives
and parents! This is all illegal, but we, unfortunately, are in
complete lawlessness. A decree was given to prevent people from
entering these territories. We don't want to provoke the situation.
As we know, in the morning they say that demining work is being
carried out there. If this is true, then the crime is multiplied," he
said, adding that despite this, they will continue to eliminate this
lawlessness. Bagrat Srbazan urged not to give in to emotions and
follow the path of victory, or everyone will be doomed to become
Judases.
Notably, citizens of the border villages of Tavush have been taking
to the streets for the third day now demanding an end to the illegal
process of transferring Armenian territories to the enemy. Tavush
residents spent last night on the Kirants-Voskepar road. And this
morning, military police, accompanied by police, closed the area
around the 7th century Armenian church in Voskepar, and are now
carrying out the demining work there.
Today, by the decision of Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan,
a working group has been established under the commission on issues
of delimitation of the state border and border security between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, which includes representatives of the
Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the
National Security Service, the Ministry of Territorial Administration
and Infrastructures, and the Cadastre Committee of the Republic. The
coordination of the group's work was entrusted to the head of the NSS
department, David Sanamyan.
