Son of Shurnukh Resident Whose Cows Were Stolen by Azerbaijanis Demands Return with Russian Peacekeepers

On Friday, March 26, Azerbaijanis stole 13 cows from the resident of Shurnukh, Hakobyan Gavrush, and drove them to the Setants village in Kashatagh, which is currently under Azerbaijani occupation and was handed over to them by the Armenian authorities via GPS. This was reported on Facebook by Alvina Aghababyan, head of the Strategic Research Center of Yerevan State University and a journalist.

According to Aghababyan, Gavrush's son went to Setants with Russian peacekeepers to seek the return of the stolen cattle, but they have not been returned to this day. A similar incident occurred on February 11, when armed Azerbaijanis approached an Armenian shepherd near the border of Khndzorhesk and took away 173 heads of sheep. At that time, the problem was resolved thanks to the intervention of our border guards, the command of the 1st Army Corps of the Armed Forces, and the community leader, with the stolen goods being returned.

In both February and now, there has been no response from the Armenian occupying authorities. The Ministry of Defense continues to report that "no border incidents have been recorded along the entire length of the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line." As I noted before, such incidents will continue to happen, there is no doubt about that. The enemy has not abandoned its old methods of appropriating our lands, in this case, the Syunik region, and will not abandon them, moreover, it will add new methods to its old ones: robbery, bandit attacks, terrorism, and will act very brutally and audaciously because it sees no opposing force or resistance in the Armenian authorities.

What kind of resistance is there to talk about when the entire administration is intensively engaged in the propaganda of Turkophilia...
