The news that the heads of communities of Syunik Province weren’t against the provision of a corridor through Syunik is false. This is what Deputy Mayor of Goris Karen Kocharyan said during a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“As the deputy mayor of Goris and deputy commander of Arush Arushanyan’s military detachment, I say that that the news is completely false. Although Arushanyan is in prison, he is ready to stand with the army and fight until the end for the land. Goris is ready to fight and defend its territory. I attended the meeting since the situation in Syunik Province is often manipulated, and it is necessary to express a clear position and receive answers, but after the meeting with the Prime Minister, my concerns about the protection of Syunik’s borders grew deeper since there was no answer,” he stated.

Asked if it was likely that he was in favor of the provision of Syunik Province’s corridor to the adversary during the meeting, Kocharyan said there hadn’t been such a thing.

The presses had spread news according to which the heads of communities of Syunik Province weren’t against the provision of a corridor of Syunik Province during their meeting with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
