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.
