ArmInfo. The citizens of the Republic of Artsakh have the right and the moral necessity to be aware of the developments taking place in the republic and around it.  Artsakh Human Rights Defender Gegham Stepanyan wrote about this on  his Facebook page.

"Article 51 of the Constitution of Artsakh establishes the right of  everyone to receive information about the activities of state bodies  and local self-government bodies and officials. In order to ensure  this right, legal acts that have lesser legal force also provide for  the obligation of various state bodies to act publicly within  limits. The citizens of the Republic of Artsakh have  the right and the moral necessity to be aware of the developments  taking place in and around Artsakh.  This right also applies to such  events, which are upcoming projects and are directly related to  certain processes of organizing personal and public life (building  roads and changing routes, providing the Internet, supplying energy  and gas, conducting other means of communication, etc.)," Stepanyan  noted.

He added that the inaction or passivity of the authorities in such  matters increases the feeling of uncertainty among the population,  causing additional anxiety and worry.
