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

“The Government must publish the draft document on the demarcation of the Republic of Armenia, which was partially published on the Internet yesterday and which was confirmed at today’s Government session. At a minimum, all provisions of the document which give understanding of ​​what it is it all really about should be published.

The demarcation with Azerbaijan directly concerns vital rights of all of us, every person living in Armenia, the entire Armenian people – life and existence, national and personal dignity, peace of mind and physical security, being informed of these and many other rights.

Border demarcation itself is a guarantee of human rights, the wrong implementation of which can lead to new human rights violations and tension.

The publication of the document is in the interests of the state. By publishing, the state will prevent the outflow of information of such exclusive importance from unofficial sources, and will not allow for an irreversible loss of public trust in state bodies.

Otherwise, the information vacuum created by the state will again be filled with information from unofficial sources, confusing even honest people, and some officials will again make irresponsible posts, often flooded with insulting words start, accusing people in imaginary “media terror”.”
