The issues of delimitation and demarcation are sensitive topics which should be addressed in a transparent way, however the authorities avoid making it public and continue deals behind the back of the people, the leader of 'Armenia' opposition bloc Seyran Ohanyan stated on Tuesday during a session at National Assembly. Ohanyan reminded that people learn about agreements that have been already reached. 

"The Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression, the occupation of Artsakh territories, the Azerbaijani incursion into the sovereign territory of Armenia, the agenda of delimitation and demarcation talks with Azerbaijan pose an immediate and serious danger to Armenia's sovereignty and the right of self-determination of the Artsakh people to live in their historical lands. The authorities did utmost to organize a discussion on this very sensitive and important topic of delimitation and demarcation in a closed format," said Ohanyan. 

The opposition MP reminded about the draft statement authored by opposition lawmakers that asked for full assessment of the actions of the Azerbaijani aggression and demanded the authorities to implement all agreements in line with the acting procedures of the RA legislation. 

Moreover, the statement, which was voted down by members of the ruling faction, also called on authorities not to take actions during demarcation issues that could harm Artsakh.
