ArmInfo. Protests against unilateral territorial concessions to Azerbaijan continue in Armenia. Moreover, these actions sometimes begin to acquire a spontaneous character.
Today, April 26, the ArmInfo correspondent witnessed an unusual action on Azatutyan Street in Yerevan. The truck driver blocked the entire road leading to Saralanji Street with his car. As a result, cars passing by were forced to make a short detour.
Police arriving at the scene are trying to convince the driver to leave the street.
The country has been swept by protests since April 25, when the process of delimiting borders with Azerbaijan in the Tavush region of the republic began. According to the government press service, as of April 25, 20 border pillars have already been installed. On April 19, the commissions for the delimitation of the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan preliminary agreed on the passage of individual sections of the border line directly between the settlements Baganis (Armenia) - Baganis Ayrum (Azerbaijan), Voskepar (Armenia) - Ashagi Askipara (Azerbaijan), Kirants (Armenia) - Kheyrimli ( Azerbaijan) and Berkaber (Armenia) - Kyzyl Hajily (Azerbaijan), with the aim of bringing them into line with the legally valid inter-republican border that existed within the Soviet Union at the time of its collapse.
The protocol must be agreed upon and signed by the parties before May 15, 2024. The Department of Information and Public Relations of the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia explained that the cartographic basis of the process is the latest topographic maps from the USSR, "which have a legal basis and were compiled by bodies with the appropriate competence."
The first border pillar on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan was installed on April 23, 2024, based on geodetic measurements as part of clarifying the coordinates.
