Ongoing process anything but not border delimitation - opposition MP
According to him, the country's authorities characterize this process with various formulations, such as "pilot demarcation", "historical demarcation", etc. But what happened yesterday in the village of Kirants, Tavush region of the country, the parliamentarian continued, is no longer delimitation, but petty fraud and petty theft that has come down from Soviet times. "It turns out that the cadastre, which in Soviet times issued certificates for housing to local residents, was mistaken, and, as always under the current authorities, it was mistaken to the detriment of our compatriots," said the oppositionist, adding that in stores there is a similar situation when returned Change in the form of small change is usually given to the detriment of the buyer.
"Now the current authorities are saying that it turns out that the cadastre was "wrong" when it issued certificates of title to real estate. But okay, they were mistaken, then why didn't they take 100 meters of land from Azerbaijan? Or maybe you're afraid? Then they should have started the process with the city Jermuk: Then say directly that we are talking about fear, and not about an error in the cadastre. Or accept the fact that they carried out a small theft. Before that, they said that the delimitation of borders was carried out on the basis of the maps of the General Staff of the former USSR from 1974 to 1999. , and the day before it became known that no, based on the maps of 1969 in accordance with the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Armenian SSR. Why not based on the protocol of 1988? Yes, because the decision of 1988 was in line with the interests of Armenia, but you are afraid of this. admit," said Artur Khachatryan, adding that the authorities are already afraid not only of Azerbaijan, but also of their own people.
The day before the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia issued a statement that cadastral certificates for real estate to residents of the Tavush village of Kirants on the border with Azerbaijan were previously issued by mistake, and therefore cannot serve as a legal basis for the statement that these territories are considered part of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. This is how the department responded to a recent interview with constitutional law expert Vardan Poghosyan. In it, the expert noted that the Cadastre Committee provided residents of the village of Kirants with certificates of registration of property rights, therefore, these territories are the territory of the Republic of Armenia.
According to the protocol-description of the commission on delimitation and demarcation of borders, in the area of the village of Kirants, Tavush region of the Republic of Armenia, Azerbaijan will have to receive two houses, a bridge, a section of the interstate road to Georgia and about 50 land plots. This decision of the commissions caused a sharply negative reaction from local residents. The previous morning, the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia announced that citizens' access to the village of Kirants would be temporarily limited due to the fact that the border troops of the republic were preparing for their transfer to guard the state border of the republic with Azerbaijan. After this, the police, in addition to media representatives and deputies, did not allow the head of the Tavush diocese of the AAC, the leader of the Tavush for the Motherland movement, Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, into the village of Kirants.
