“They came calmly and set up their bases without firing a single shot. I don’t know how it happened, but they probably got 100 hectares of land. No matter what the situation, none of them resisted,” Argam Hovsepyan, head of the “Aprelu Yerkir” faction of the Tegh community council, said in a telephone conversation with Aravot.am.
According to Hovsepyan, the situation is generally calm in the sense that there are no shots fired. The National Security Service reported that from April 1, the route connecting the RA territory to the Lachin Corridor would pass through the Kornidzor-Tegh route only through the RA territory. According to the agreements reached yesterday between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the two countries’ border guards were to be deployed along the border along the previous section in the last days of March. Due to this, according to the calculations of the Armenian side, the Azerbaijani side was located in our territory 100 to 300 meters ahead of the border at five points.
“They entered through the arable fields of the villagers, where barley and wheat were sowed; that’s how they came down to the pastures and settled in that area,” said Argam Hovsepyan. Syunik Marz Governor Robert Ghukasyan considers the problem of sowing areas one of the easy issues. “Azerbaijani forces have advanced beyond the border in several parts of Tegh village. Negotiations are underway, and I hope they will return to their positions,” said Robert Ghukasyan.
He was in the Tegh community and assured that there was no panic in the community’s settlements. “Panic is seen only on Facebook. Not in the Tegh community, the Goris community, and the other communities of the region,” said Robert Ghukasyan.

Syunik is living everyday life, and as the Governor assured, in connection with the recent events in the border settlements of Syunik, no changes have been noticed. “Naturally, people are worried about the created situation, but I have great hopes that the Azerbaijani forces will return to the designated places,” the Governor said in a telephone conversation.
