Azerbaijani Armed Forces continue to inflict damage on residents of border villages of Armenia

ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani  Armed Forces continue to inflict damage on the residents of the  border villages of Armenia.

Thus, according to the report of the Office of the Ombudsman of  Armenia, Azerbaijani servicemen stole 75 heads of cattle. The  incident took place on August 16 at about 10:30 am in the Gogi Ler  mountain range in the village of Sers, Vayots Dzor region of Armenia.

"According to the local residents, from a distance of about 800-900  meters, they noticed three Azerbaijani servicemen emerging from the  trenches and approaching the animals. "All this time, they continued  to follow from afar the actions of the Azerbaijani soldiers, one of  whom drove the animals, after which the three of them took them away.  Azerbaijani servicemen were armed.

Citizens reported that they had contacted the regional administration  of Vayots Dzor, the head of the community, the Armenian border  troops, and the army corps. They visited the regional administration  to record the incident and indicate that it is necessary to provide  relevant certificates. According to the affected citizens, the  livestock was purchased with the help of an agricultural loan, which  is about 8 million drams, and they do not know how they will pay it  off.

The state should initiate processes on international platforms,  which, using these facts, will force the Azerbaijani authorities to  compensate people for such problems.

We, of course, will contact the Government in due course in order to  understand the position on the immediate solution of the problems of  these people, before initiating such a process on international  platforms. We are ready to cooperate on any issue, "reads the  statement of the Office of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia.

Note that this is not the first such case. The Armed Forces of  Azerbaijan periodically steal small and large- scale cattle of  borderland residents grazing on pastures of communities.
