Governor denies rumors of ceding Tavush villages to Azerbaijan
Governor of Armenia’s Tavush Province Hayk Chobanyan on Monday refuted rumors about handing over some villages in the region to Azerbaijan.
“Dear residents of Tavush, they are spreading yet another disinformation about the alleged handover of our villages, not realizing the numerous threats that may emerge as a result of it. They don’t care about the distress that a person living in border areas may have reading such news,” he said in a statement released by the Tavush Regional Administration.
“This is simply the peak of irresponsibility. Our law enforcement agencies must take the strictest measures.
“Dear people, keep calm! Our borders are strong due to our army, our people, our will and our work,” the statement said.
