YEREVAN. – The displaced residents of Artsakh's (Nagorno-Karabakh) Kashatagh region are protesting in front of the main building of the government of Armenia on Monday.

Mariam Hayrapetyan, the secretary of Mijnavan town hall of Kashatagh, told reporters: "What the government decides, they officially announce, in reality nothing happens; we are left in a hopeless situation.

Yesterday Hayk Khanumyan [Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures of Artsakh] had come from Stepanakert, who said that the people of Kashatagh should all come [back] and live in Artsakh; they should make Karabakh prosper.

Gladly. I understand; I accept the pro-state policy. But as for the southern wing of Kashatagh, everyone there is resettled people who have shed blood and sweat, built land, built houses for 30 years, and women came out in the last days, literally with the clothes on them, whereas the men protected Jabrayil and Ishkhanadzor.

And now to persuade those people that, ‘You are going to cultivate land again, in the most border villages of Martakert, we will build your house, and if you do not come, you will receive nothing.'

There is no such thing. We ask the government; it is enough to deceive people at the state level.

Did the people become beggars for help from here and there? We are not that person. They say, ‘You can get your 5 million [drams in assistance].’ But did we leave [behind] a property of 5 million [drams]?

If they do not secure us in Armenia, I will apply to the international court," she said in particular.
