ArmInfo.The March 15 report on the situation near the Narqin Khand community, Syunik, Armenia, is false, stated Arman Tatoyan, Armenia's former human rights defender. 

This is actually statement on surrender of Armenia's sovereign  territory to Azerbaijan, which poses a threat to the local Armenian  population. 

The situation is as follows: about a fortnight ago, Azerbaijani armed  forces entered Armenia's territories and, after moving about 1km  inland, stationed themselves in the village of Nerqin Khand.  

"To be precise, it is a settlement located in the Nerqin Khand  administrative district. After invading, the Azerbaijani armed forces  started constructing a road leading to 'their new positions', with  the use of construction machinery. The Nerqin Khand residents knew  about the invasion beforehand as they notice the Azerbaijani troops.  However, without explanations by the government, they were confused,"  Mr Tatoyan stated. 

The Azerbaijani forces' positions enable them to put the village  under surveillance. 

"Thus, part of Armenia's sovereign territory is de facto being  surrendered to Azerbaijan. The statement [by Armenia's defense  office] is ignoring the people's safety and legalizing the  Azerbaijani troops' illegal presence in the vicinity of Nerqin Khand,  Kapan community, Syunik region.

"By what authority does the RA Ministry of Defense make a statement  on surrender of part of Armenia's sovereign territory to Azerbaijan,  illegally confirming Azerbaijan's jurisdiction thereby undermining  the security of the entire country. This statement conceals  Azerbaijan's criminal actions from the people and from the entire  world. Stop undermining the security if our people and country and  aggravating human rights violations with your and country with your  irresponsible statements," stated Mr Tatoyan.
