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.
