We do not have information at the moment as to whether it is a customs checkpoint, or what. We only have information that a shack has been set up right near the road. The current mayor of Kapan, Armenia, Gevorg Parsyan, the candidate for mayor from the opposition Shant Bloc, said this Sunday after voting in the local elections in Kapan—and referring to the events taking place around the Goris-Chakaten road.

"The road is now used in the same mode, but I am afraid it could turn into a customs checkpoint," he added.

To note, the Azerbaijanis have started engineering work Saturday in Chakaten village of Syunik Province, on the road to Kapan city, and the village head had expressed concern that the Azerbaijanis might set up a checkpoint there.

The Goris-Kapan interstate road of Armenia has been closed since Thursday. Azerbaijan has set up a customs checkpoint there, putting at least three Armenian villages in a semi-blockade.
