"Crossing a street in Shurnukh village of Armenia's southern Syunik province will become problematic from tomorrow," village mayor Hakob Arshakyan told the residents, as the village is set to be divided into two parts with the eastern part to be transferred to Azerbaijan based on demarcation process carried out via GPS.  Mayor Arshakyan presented the situation to the villagers live on Facebook. 

"Crossing a street will be problematic from tomorrow. You will not be able to go after the herd if it crosses the Azerbaijani side in the eastern part of the village," Arshakyan said. 

To note, according to the demarcation, some 12 houses of the village are to be ceded to Azerbaijan which gave a deadline to locals until January 5 to vacate their houses and the property. 

In Arshakyan's words, in case of controversy, a responsible person captain Aram Ohanyan and the Russian border guards are the ones to reach and solve the matter. 

Asked about the roadway connecting Goris to Kapan, Captain Ohanyan said there would be no issue with the operation of the roadway which will be controlled by the local forces and the Russian guards.
