Yesterday, there was a significant increase in police presence in the village, with entrances left open but subject to checks for incoming vehicles. Villagers reported feeling a sense of anticipation in the air. In addition to police surveillance, a group of Kirants residents were stationed at the entrance to Kheirimli, prepared to prevent surveyors from entering areas they consider their own.
Meanwhile, a march led by the leader of the Tavush Diocese, His Holiness Bagrat, departed from Sevan and was en route to Yerevan. The march aimed to protest the demarcation process, expressing concerns that Armenian territories, including Kirants, could be transferred to Azerbaijan. Citizens are demanding security guarantees amidst these changes.
Despite this, the roads remain open for travel and currently the situation in the area is relatively calm. There were no groups observed conducting work in the demarcation zones visible from the region. However, some view demarcation as a means of reducing security risks while others warn of potential conflicts until the borders are clearly defined. The debate surrounding the process continues as tensions rise among those affected by the border changes.
