Head of the Nerqin Karmirahbyur community Manvel Kamendatyan noted that there were many problems in the border villages as the peace population is on the first line under fire. Especially during the last year the enemy especially shoots at the peace population and it causes deaths.

Head of the Movses community Lyudvig Aperyan asked the representatives of the international organization to pay attention on the fact that there is no day without firing.

“People are unable even to work in the fields because of the fears. There is no guarantee that the enemy will not shoot on them. We need confidence for the work”.

Head of Aygepar community Andranik Aydinyan underlined that the shoots have become more intensive recently. “People are not safe even in their houses, the windows are closed with stones as we are afraid that the bladders can enter inside”, Aydinyan said.

The governor underlined that Armenian nation wants only peace and reminded that “this is their historic land and they will never leave it”.
