Former RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page:
In Nerkin Hand, we established that the Azerbaijani armed servicemen at different times m carry out mine explosions in the immediate vicinity of their positions [in the invaded parts of Armenia], and shootings are also recorded. The Azerbaijani authorities also carry out military exercises at such a distance from the village that shots and explosions can be clearly heard inside the village both during the day and at night.
Residents of Nerkin Hand are kept in fear, people cannot move freely in the village, there are Azerbaijani armed forces in front of the village school, people’s safe life is disrupted.

In addition to this, only in the village of Nerkin Hand, 2,700 hectares of the village territory came under Azerbaijani occupation, of which:
1. 2,400 hectares of specially protected lands;
2. 170 hectares of forest lands;
3. 130 hectares of communal lands.
In addition to the mentioned 2,700 hectares, more than 1,000 hectares of land is in the dangerous zone, where it is either impossible to carry out any agricultural or other type of work, or these works have become significantly more difficult due to real dangers to life.
And under these conditions, we are investigating whether “our military violated the peace of the Azerbaijani soldiers”.
We should not allow the ongoing crimes of the Azerbaijani authorities against our country and our people to be forgotten and left out of international public agendas.
