Visits to Armenia’s border villages show that even some of the local residents have little idea what the Azerbaijani troops are capable of and what can happen amid fragile peace, MP Tigran Abrahamyan of the opposition Pativ Unem faction claims.

“It is particularly about the settlements which became bordering with Azerbaijan in the wake of the 44-day war following the handover of Kashatagh and Karvachar to Baku,” he wrote on Facebook on Monday.

“Many in these communities can talk for hours about the imminent threats, but there are also people who believe that it's all over and that nothing threatens them living just a few kilometers away from Azerbaijani positions.

“This very idea is actively promoted by the authorities, who are trying to drum it into the people's heads, saying, “Keep calm, we will surrender everything necessary, and there will be no war.”

“But the truth is that the current authorities will have to constantly give away something to maintain this "peace", while the Azerbaijanis will never be satisfied. The same logic is used to build border security, although the word "build" here is a strong exaggeration,” Abrahamyan said.
