Azerbaijan occupied 2,700 hectares of land in Armenia's Kapan
The Tatoyan Foundation led by Armenia’s former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan on Monday summed up its fact-finding visit to the country’s Syunik Province.
Accordingly, a total of 2,700 hectares of land, including 2,400 hectares of specially protected areas, 170 hectares of forested areas and 130 hectares of communal lands, in the Kapan community alone were occupied by Azerbaijani forces during their attacks in mid-September 2022.
In addition, more than 1,000 hectares of land is in the danger zone where it is either impossible to carry out any agricultural or other works, or they have become increasingly difficult amid security concerns, the Tatoyan Foundation said.
This is the case specifically in the villages of Nerkin Hand, Srashen, Shikahogh, Chakaten, and Geghanush, it added.
