Yesterday, a significant number of police officers were in the village, with entrances left open but subject to checks for incoming vehicles. Villagers reported 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.
The roads in the area remain open for travel, despite the presence of police forces and road patrols monitoring the situation. Currently, the situation is relatively calm, with no groups observed conducting work in demarcation zones visible from the region.
A march led by His Holiness Bagrat, the leader of the Tavush Diocese, departed from Sevan and is en route to Yerevan. Participants plan to arrive on May 9 and protest against the demarcation process. They are concerned that Armenian territories, including Kirants, could be transferred to Azerbaijan as part of border changes. Citizens are demanding security guarantees amidst these changes.
While some view demarcation as a means of reducing security risks, others warn of potential conflicts until borders are clearly defined. The debate surrounding this process continues as tensions rise among those affected by border changes.
