The Primate of the Tavush Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Bagrat Bagrat Bagrat Bagrata called the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikola Pashinyan to resign due to the border with Azerbaijan begun. Thousands of protesters who support the requirements of the church hierarch gathered in the Republic Square in Yerevan.

Bagrat Bagrats said that he would through the Parliament seek the impeachment of the Prime Minister and threatened the shares of civil disobedience. Previously, protesters against the transfer of border lands to Azerbaijan, led by Blastanyan, began a march from the Tavush region to Yerevan.

After the start of demarcation, the police detained 30 residents: the NICs of the village of Kirantz, protesting against the transfer of land. In the Tavush region, protests with road ceiling are held on April 19, when the deputy prime miners of Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed on the first stage of the division of the border.

According to the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikola Pashinyan, Delimitation will allow the country to protect the country from future military conflicts with Azerbaijan. Pashinyan said that the country is ready to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan by November 2024.

Azerbaijani territorial claims to Armenia

• In December 2022, Azerbaijan established a complete blockade of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and in September 2023 he made an armed seizure of the region. The Armenian population - more than 100 thousand people - were forced to flee to Armenia.

• After the capture of the NKR, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev announced his intention to demand from Armenia the immediate return of eight abandoned Azerbaijani villages, over which she established partial control during the first Karabakh war in the early 1990s.

• On March 9, Azerbaijan officially demanded the immediate transfer of those that have a border with Azerbaijan: Hayimli, Baganis-Airum, Auchay-Askipara and Gyzylhajila. The remaining four villages are completely surrounded by the territory of Armenia, but Azerbaijan intends to demand their transfer.

• Armenia agreed to transfer the border villages unilaterally. At the same time, at the request of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, 208 square kilometers of the Armenian territory in the 31st settlement are also under the control of Azerbaijan. Including, Azerbaijan occupies 8 square kilometers of arable land in Berkaber.

• In the region where disputed villages are located, Russian troops have been present since 2021. At the same time, from the Nagorno -Karabakh, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent has been since 2020, Russian troops began to leave on April 17.

• Aliyev regularly makes less specific claims on most of Armenia. Despite the fact that Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2022 agreed to recognize the Soviet borders of each other from 1991, Aliyev protests against the use of late Soviet maps for this. He claims that before his father, Heydar Aliyev, came to power in Soviet Azerbaijan, the country regularly “gave” Armenia part of the territories.
