RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page:

“Delimitation or demarcation the state borders of Armenia cannot be carried out on the basis of Google Map or Google Global Positioning System (Google GPS).

It is not clear which version of Google Maps is the basis when Google itself mentions that there are many versions of online maps of the world. Or have we found out what algorithmic systems or positioning mechanisms underlie a particular version of an online map?

The researches and observations of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia in the border settlements confirm that this approach seriously endangers the constitutional rights of life, physical and mental immunity, and property of the inhabitants of the border settlements.

It is about the protection of the borders of our state, the physical security and safety of our people and each person.

Professional approaches, results of scientific research, detailed on-site work, proper legal basis, etc. are needed in the issue of demarcations or delimitations.

This issue should be among the exclusive priorities of our country, in the center of everyone’s priority.”
