Armenian military expert Tigran Abrahamyan, the head of the Henaket Analytical Center, urges the authorities to take immediate measures to ensure Goris-Berdzor-Stepanakert road safety.

"The issue of Goris-Berdzor-Stepanakert highway safety is one of the matters around which no negotiations were held, but it requires urgent solutions.

“To date, its security is not fully ensured. In a day, when the Kashatagh region (Lachin) is completely handed over to Azerbaijan, it will become even more dangerous,” he wrote on Facebook.

According to the expert, these days Azerbaijanis are carrying out provocative actions on the road, since on the Lisagor-Shushi section of the same road one can see cars with Azerbaijani plate numbers, as well as Azerbaijanis walking or on horseback along the road.

“They not only threaten our compatriots passing along the highway with various movements, but also cause technical problems by all possible means.

“This is a serious issue that the incumbent prime minister of Armenia did not negotiate on time. Moreover, there are no serious discussions on the matter today.

"This problem will get worse after the complete surrender of Kashatagh, especially when the fate of the settlements located on different parts of this road remains uncertain,” he said.
