The Armenian authorities have to explain in detail what specific developments or solutions are envisaged in connection with the country’s borders after the war, Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) Arman Tatoyan said.

“And they should do it not because they have to neutralize the impacts of the unexpected developments concerning the security of our country, or to calm public anger over these unexpected developments,” he wrote on Facebook.

“Eventually, we need to realize that we are dealing with the defense of our state, the physical security and safety of our people and each person.

“You should not keep the public in uncertainty, create alarming conditions for people, and especially for residents of bordering villages, thus violating their mental immunity and keeping people in constant tension.

“These are the direct obligations of the state, the positive obligations towards every person,” the ombudsman added.
