Artak Beglaryan ends round-the-clock sit-in outside UN Office in Yerevan
The advisor to Artsakh's (Nagorno-Karabakh) state minister, Artak Beglaryan, has announced an end of the round-the-clock sit-in outside the United Nations Office in Yerevan.
“Today we changed the full-day sit-in next to the UN Armenia into 2-3-hours sit-in there, given some circumstances, including the results, the need of other types of efforts etc.,” he said in a tweet.
“We continue our struggle for removing of the Artsakh blockade,” he added.
Beglaryan started an open-ended sit-in along with several others in front of the UN Office on December 14, calling on the international agency to take decisive action against Azerbaijan’s blockade of the Lachin corridor, the sole road connecting Artsakh to Armenia and the outside world.
The blockade began on December 12, when a group of Azerbaijanis posing as environmental activists stopped traffic on the Lachin corridor, citing “illegal” mining operations in Artsakh.
