Lawmaker Taguhi Tovmasyan from the opposition Armenia alliance on Tuesday urged the law enforcement authorities to take action amid worries over the illegal actions committed by Azerbaijani forces.

“We, as a sovereign state, especially the law enforcement agencies, including the Prosecutor General’s Office, have to take specific action here,” Tovmasyan said at a parliament session, adding she had requested the Prosecutor General’s Office to clarify 3 issues.

The MP said that she wanted to find out whether they have identified corpus delicti in the actions of the Azerbaijan military envisaged by the Criminal Code of Armenia, whether any criminal cases have been opened over Azerbaijan’s closure of the Goris-Kapan interstate road and whether there are any defendants involved.

Tovmasyan said that according to the response of the Prosecutor General's Office, several criminal cases have been initiated since May 13 under rather serious articles.

She read out the final part of the detailed response of the Prosecutor General's Office, which says that the preliminary investigation in all cases is underway and there are no accused persons at this point.

“Why are there no defendants involved? Why don't we create problems for the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan? Why do you allow the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan to move freely? Why haven’t they been put on the international wanted list?” she asked.
