On December 14, Ecolur reported that Rafik Atayan, Head of Kajaran
village of Syunik Marz, was taken to the Police and kept there till
the evening.
Today, Rafik Atayan said that he was not taken to the police, but to
the Marzpetaran. "I was called to the Marzpetaran and the authorities
pressured me trying to make me sign the agreement. They said the
agreement must be signed. But I did not sign anything, and I would
never sign it. I handed in my resignation and today, I'm going to
resign from the Republican Party", said Atayan.
He did not give names, only said that "authorities" repressed him.
Rafik Atayan once again reiterated he is not going to quit fighting
for Kajaran. "As a villager, I have my opinion, and I am a defender of
my village, our cemeteries, my homeland like the others. I am ready
to fight till the last drop of my blood", said the Kajaran village
Head to hra.am.
Recall, Kajaran villagers started fighting against the decision
of the government of Armenia recognizing 181.7 hectares of land of
agricultural significance in Syunik Marz, including Kajaran village,
as supreme public interest.
