We publish a factual analysis of one of the unlawful deployments and unlawful fortification work by the Azerbaijani armed forces in the immediate vicinity of the villages of Gegharkunik Province. The Human Rights Defender (ombudsman) of the Republic of Armenia (RA), Arman Tatoyan, wrote this on Facebook, attaching a respective video.

"Due to their criminal actions and presence, an RA business company is unable to use the 200 hectares of land legally allocated to it by the decision of the RA government and the ownership certificate of the Cadastre Committee, on 75 [hectares] of which it has built two windmills, is unlawfully deprived of the right to do business, and the damage suffered—by its calculation—is 5 million [US] dollars.

Moreover, due to the unlawful deployments of Azerbaijan, the civilian population has appeared in the target of the Azerbaijani armed servicemen. It is at risk, the peaceful life and safety of the people are disrupted by regular [Azerbaijani] shelling, the right to life is violated, the people are deprived of the right to property and the opportunity to earn a family income from agriculture.

These facts will be sent to the relevant international bodies, as well as to the RA state bodies and NGOs—for use in their work," Tatoyan wrote as attachment to this video.
