Tigran Abrahamyan: Armenia’s political leadership has failed to issue instructions to the armed forces to protect the state borders

Panorama, Armenia

The head of "Henaket" analytical center Tigran Abrahamyan commented on Facebook the ongoing crisis in the near-border area of Armenia's Syunik province. 

"No matter what context, logic and processes govern the situation around Armenia's state borders in the last ten days, the fact of having unprotected state border and failure to take necessary measures remain in the focus. Despite the fact, that this is related to the outcomes of the 2020 war, we should note that we would not have the latest crisis or it wouldn't develop in current scenario, if proper border protection and service  were in place," Abrahamyan wrote, adding:

"It appears the political leadership of the country has failed to issue relevant instructions to the armed forces about protection of the state border which means there are major risks for similar aggression in the future as well."
