Reports on alleged beating of residents detained in Kirants false -  Ministry of Interior 

ArmInfo. Information about the alleged beating of residents detained in Kirants by police officers  is not true, the press service of the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs reports. 

According to the source, today in the Tavush region, 30 people were  brought to the police for committing an offense under Article 182 of  the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Armenia. All  of them were released after drawing up a protocol on an  administrative offense. "The information about their alleged beating  by police officers is not true. The Ministry of Internal Affairs  calls not to publish unverified and false information," the  department said in a statement.

Residents of the border villages of Tavush have been holding protests  on the Armenia-Georgia interstate road on the Kirants-Voskepar  section since April 19. They oppose the border delimitation option  agreed upon by Yerevan and Baku, as a result of which strategic  heights will pass to Azerbaijan, and Armenian villages will be  completely or partially surrounded. Residents of Tavush have been  spending the seventh night on the blocked Voskepar-Kirants road.

In addition, actions of disobedience broke out throughout the country  demanding an end to unilateral concessions to the enemy.

On April 19, the commissions for demarcation of the border between  Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to begin demarcation of the border from  the Tavush region. According to them, the description of these  sections of the border line will be drawn up taking into account the  clarification of the coordinates that will be obtained as a result of  geodetic measurements on site. All this will be documented in the  appropriate protocol description, which must be agreed upon and  signed between the parties before May 15 of this year.
