About 130 Armenian citizens of the Russian Federation are having trouble departing to the Russian Federation at Bagratashen border checkpoint where they have been stranded for a long time already, as reported SHAMSHYAN.com.

The citizens told SHAMSHYAN.com that the police officers of Armenia’s Tavush Province had a meeting with them today and told them that they couldn’t let them cross the border. “The police officers told us that the Armenian government isn’t competent to solve the issue and that we should demand that the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Armenia solve our problems. We contacted the embassy and told them that we have been at the border checkpoint since yesterday, but we were told that we shouldn’t have come to the border checkpoint since we knew the border was closed. I told the embassy that we have been in Armenia for three to four months, but the embassy told us that it can’t help us in any way,” one of the citizens said, stating that starting tomorrow, all the citizens will close the roads leading to the border until their problem is solved.
