It appears that the Azerbaijani State Border Service
and customs bodies are reminded by Armenia that payments should be levied on
Armenian residents and foreigners traveling on the Goris-Kapan road and other
interventions be made on their rights.
In this case, the official who made such an
announcement might as well explain the amount of fees and charges the
Azerbaijani legislation envisages, what rights people have during these
payments? Will those payments be made in Armenian Drams or a foreign currency?
What is the procedure of filing complaints, and how will he protect the rights
of the citizens? How is he going to organize the life of the residents of the
communities in the vicinity of the road, as they will appear in the Azerbaijani
customs and border control zone?
Moreover, as a result of delimitation and demarcation
process of the border, the Azerbaijani authorities might be deprived of their
authority over that road, since the international human rights mechanisms
provide that opportunity.
