Syunik's Villages Left to the Mercy of Russian Border Guards

According to the daily newspaper 'Hraparak', 'Where are Syunik Governor Melikset Poghosyan and the deputies elected from Syunik, who proudly declared that Syunik is safe and that land has not been ceded to the enemy? Why are they not in Syunik, providing support to the residents trapped in a blockade? While the representatives from the ruling party make populist statements under the leadership of their leader and shift the blame for the situation onto the previous administration, the villages of Syunik are left at the mercy of Russian border guards. It raises the question of how many people will remain to live in disarmed and depopulated villages after the road reopens.'

We received news yesterday that the Russian border guards have surrounded 75 Azerbaijani servicemen who dared to violate the border of the Republic of Armenia and closed the interstate road under their control.
