PanARMENIAN.Net – Azerbaijan’s decision to build a protective wall
at contact line with Artsakh is only a part of Baku propaganda,
according to ex-foreign minister of Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
As Arman Melikyan told a news conference in Yerevan, Azerbaijan is
attempting to repeat the experience of Israel which has built a wall
to protect itself from Palestinians. “Still, I don’t believe the wall
will be built along the whole line of contact,” Melikyan said.
A member of ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Lernik Aleksanyan,
however, spoke against a solely propagandistic message the wall is
supposed to carry. “By building a wall, Baku might want to conceal
its snipers,” he said.
Azerbaijan is planning on construction of a protective wall at the
line of contact with NKR. According to Azeri media, a wall, 700 meters
long and 3 meters tall, was already built near the village of Chyragly,
bordering with Martakert Province.
Azerbaijan has been considering construction of a wall “to protect
itself from Armenian snipers” since 2006.
