A tense situation is unfolding in Kirants village of Armenia’s Tavush Province, as police continue to block access to the area, preventing MPs and reporters from entering. Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the Tavush for the Homeland movement, managed to reach Kirants despite the restrictions.
The National Security Service of Armenia announced preparations to take over border protection in Kirants, but residents are protesting the border delimitation process that will divide the village and transfer some houses to the Azerbaijani side. This has led to civil disobedience actions, particularly in Yerevan.
The Prime Minister’s Office had initially announced border agreements between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but issues in Kirants require further adjustments. The situation remains tense as residents express their disapproval of the government’s decisions.
As tensions rise and protests continue, the fate of Kirants village hangs in the balance, highlighting the complexities of border disputes in the region.
