Funzionari armeni hanno autorizzato l’avanzata azera nell’area di confine

>Azerbaijani army units redeployed in March 2023 to more parts of the Lachin district sandwiched between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) said hours later that they advanced up to 300 meters into Armenian territory at five border locations adjacent to the village of Tegh.

>As a result, Tegh lost a large part of its agricultural land and pastures, according to local government officials and farmers. Tensions around the village escalated in April 2023 into a skirmish between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces which left at least seven soldiers from both sides dead.

>“Concrete individuals were given concrete instructions and they failed to carry out those instructions,” the premier said at the time. “This must entail some administrative consequences. We also need to investigate things more deeply and understand what happed and why it happened.”

>Pashinian sacked the commander of Armenia’s Border Guard Troops, Colonel Arman Maralchian, the same day. He has still not appointed Maralchian’s replacement.

>Two days after Pashinian’s comments, military investigators launched an inquiry into possible “negligence” by military officers or other security personnel, a crime punishable by between four and eight years’ imprisonment.

>Vardapetian revealed that that they have not charged anyone and have closed the criminal case altogether. She did not give any details of the yearlong probe.

>“With regard to Tegh, we have taken large-scale actions,” the country’s chief prosecutor told journalists. “If I’m not mistaken, there was a problem with border guards. No elements of a crime were confirmed as a result of the criminal proceedings.”

Curious how time and time again there are no repricurssions for failures or malpractices…
