Opposition political forces in Armenia demonstrated outside the Government Building in Yerevan today following yesterday’s statement by Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan that Azerbaijan will set up customs checkpoints along sections of the Goris-Kapan highway.

Grigoryan announced the news on Armenian Public TV, stating that Armenia will set up its own checkpoints on the roadway in Syunik. Azerbaijan has deployed troops to monitor sections of the highway that Baku claims are Azerbaijani territory.

Ara Zohrabyan, the leader of the Zartonk National Christian Party addressed the crowd, saying that the trilateral agreement signed on November 9, 2020 ended the war, stipulating that the warring parties must remain in their positions. He said only the Armenian government has fulfilled this obligation.

Zohrabyan accused the Pashinyan government of inaction regarding the release of Armenian POWs held in Azerbaijan and ordering the removal of soldiers from contested border areas.
