21:15 ~U 23.01.14
Despite the Azerbaijani army's recent gun attackthat saw an Armenian
serviceman killed, the situation remains calm in the border villages
of Aygepar and Nerkin Karmiraghbyur (Tavush region).
Speaking to Tert.am, Aygepar governor Andranik Aydinyan said the
village is not facing any tension at all.
"Our defense guards are fully prepared, so everything is all right,"
he said.
Asked whether the Aygepar population was in panic after the deadly
shoot-out, the village mayor said they do not have any problems with
that. "People in our village are fearless, so there's no problem at
all. We were born and grown here. Our country begins with our borders,
so if we do not protect our fatherland, who is to do that instead of
us?" he said.
Armen Kamendatyan, the mayor of Karmiraghbyur, also said that the
village is calm after the recent incident.
Several villages in Tavush region have been facing repeated armed
attacks in the recent months. No deaths or survivors have been
reported so far, but the Nerkin Karmiraghbyur mayor says their
villagers are afraid of cultivating lands or grazing cattle in areas
close to the border.
