ArmInfo.The main reason for the problems related to the state borders of the Republic of Armenia is that the Government does not base its discussions and decisions on the rights of border residents, and human rights in general. This is stated in the statement ofHuman Rights Defender of Armenia Arman Tatoyan.
"Therefore, the Government of Armenia is failing its positive obligations, making unacceptable mistakes on the issue of the rights of its citizens, primarily in guaranteeing a normal life for the border population.
It is impossible to discuss issues related to state borders only from a political and military point of view, and even more so due to the consequences of the war and in the conditions of the anti-Armenian policy of the Azerbaijani authorities, "the RA Ombudsman said.
At the same time, Tatoyan emphasized that human rights and, first of all, of the border population, normal living conditions of the border population (the right to life, property, decent and safe living, the pursuit of happiness, and others) should be the basis.
"We are strong in these positions and in the international arena. If we continue this way, the shortcomings and failures will only increase. Do not forget that one of the mandatory international principles of delimitation is democracy, human rights and the rule of law," the Ombudsman of Armenia summed up.
