Pashinyan: Nagorno-Karabakh people stuck on roads in the cold
Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) has been blocked by Azerbaijan for eight days now, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan tweeted on Monday.
“8 days Lachin corridor is closed by Azerbaijan and people of Nagorno Karabakh are stuck on the roads in the cold, families are finding themselves in different sides of the blockade," he said. "Citizens with serious health problems are deprived of medicine and health service.
The blockade began early on 12 December, when a group of so-called Azerbaijani “eco activists” stopped traffic on the Lachin corridor, Artsakh’s sole overland link to Armenia, citing “illegal” mining activity in the area.
