ArmInfo. Artsakh is under blockadeamd this is unacceptable. Independent MP Taguhi Tovmasyan stated this in an interview with journalists.
The MP said that in the coming days the citizens of Armenia intend to block the roads, demanding to open the Vardenis-Karvachar highway. According to Tovmasyan, residents of the Gegharkunik region of Armenia contacted her; they are dissatisfied with the fact that the highway is closed and intend to hold protest actions until the issue is resolved.
"The authorities are obliged to take into account the demands of the citizens of Armenia, the issue of the Vardenis-Karvachar road should be discussed. A few days ago, residents of Artsakh also held protests with a similar demand. Documents were signed on unblocking infrastructure in the region, so why is Artsakh in a blockade? This state of affairs creates problems, first of all, for those citizens who work in Artsakh. Now, to get to Artsakh, one should use the old road, which is much longer. This issue should be resolved as soon as possible at the interstate level. I intend to apply to the Foreign Ministry on this issue," Tovmasyan said. The MP said that people are going to block roads of great importance.
As for the statement of Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan regarding Shushi, the MP said that Shushi is an Armenian city, and her favorite.
