ArmInfo.Azerbaijan's actions on the Stepanakert-Goris highway is another provocation, stated Artak Beglaryan, Advisor to the Artsakh State Minister. It is an attempt to block the only lifeline between Armenia and Artsakh.
"Under the trilateral agreements, the Russian peacekeeping contingent is ensuring this communication. Thus, Azerbaijan's actions are immediately against the 120,000-strong Artsakh population and the peacekeepers. I hope the highway service will be resumed," Mr Beglaryan stated.
The Artsakh Ministry of Health has stated that Azerbaijan's actions are aimed at causing a humanitarian disaster in Artsakh.
"In this situation the supply of medicines and medical appliances is impossible now. Moreover, transporting patients from Armenia to Artsakh is a serious problem. We are calling on the international community and all humanitarian organizations to immediately take necessary measures to prevent a humanitarian disaster," the statement reads.
