Alternate Syunik Roadway Not Viable Option, Says Armenian HRD Tatoyan

Armenian Human Rights Defender (HRD) Arman Tatoyan, in a statement released today, claims that Azerbaijani military forces can target the alternative road linking the town of Kapan and six villages in the country’s southern Syunik Province.

The secondary roadway was seen as the only alternative for residents of Tchakaten, Shikahogh, Srashen, Nerkin Hand, Tzav and Shishkert to travel to Kapan, the Syunik provincial capital, after Azerbaijani troops set up a customs checkpoint on a section of the main Kapan-Tchakaten artery.

The main road traverses the new border between Armenia and Azerbaijan

Tatoyan writes that parts of the alternate route are impassable, especially during the winter.

The Armenian HRD says that Azerbaijani troops must leave the area and a demilitarized zone created.

People using the main Kapan-Tchakaten road only had to travel eight kilometers. The alternate route is 150 kilometers long.

Armenia once again shoots themselves in the foot! There were no checkpoints on the road in question before Armenia staged their latest military provocation. That did not end well for them and the check points are an additional consequence of their aggression. Perhaps the Armenians will learn from this and play nice while they make peace. If not expect more of the same. All the pathetic whining in the world from the Armenian human rights defender will not change a thing and any demilitarised zone will have to be carved out of Armenian territory as Azerbaijan is not interested and is staying right where they are.
