HRD: Azerbaijani cameras keep Armenian civilian homes under surveillance

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan has revealed that several homes and a fish farm in the village of Vorotan, Syunik province are under the constant surveillance of Azerbaijani cameras.

Tatoyan noted that such surveillance violates not only the right of residents to a safe and peaceful life, but also their right to privacy and family life.

"By the way, the house where the armed Azerbaijani soldiers are stationed and are controlling life inside said homes belong to an Armenian citizen," Tatoyan said.

"Azerbaijani armed forces, including the Border Guard, are always seen in front of the house. According to the citizens' calculations, there are about 150-200 employees in total. Moreover, all these employees are armed, most of them are masked."

Azerbaijani forces violated Armenia’s border in several sections in the provinces of Syunik and Gegharkunik on May 12 and 13 and are still refusing to withdraw their troops from the area. On November 16, the Azerbaijani side launched a fresh offensive in the province of Syunik, during which Armenian soldiers were killed and taken captive.
