The State Security Service has responded to the information about the erection of new border signs by the occupation forces in the forest near the village of Chorchana and stated that "every provocative act is being responded to."

"In the forest near the village of Chorchana, Khashuri Municipality, the Russian occupation forces have been carrying out illegal borderization since 2019. There are illegal installations in the forest.

The illegal borderization ongoing near the village of Chorchana is a major topic of discussion of the Geneva talks and other formats related to the occupation. Each of the provocative actions is responded by the activation of all levers at our disposal. At the same time, representatives of the European Union Monitoring Mission, the Co-Chairs of the Geneva talks and our other international partners are actively involved in the process," InterPressNews was told by the State Security Service.
