Youth protest in front of UN office in Yerevan

ArmInfo. On December 15, in front of the building of the Armenian representative office of the UN  in Yerevan, a youth protest is held, demanding that the international  organization take steps to unblock the only road linking Artsakh with  Armenia.

According to one of the protesters, 120,000 residents of Artsakh are  under blockade amid indifference from the international community.  <We call on the youth of Armenia to join us. We want to convey to the  international community our demand to put aside double standards >, -  said one of the protesters.

Another participant of the action recalled that the Armenians of  Artsakh have been in a total blockade for the third day. "We are  looking for help from our older generation as the youth needs it. The  Azerbaijani authorities, under any pretext, terrorize the Armenians  of Artsakh, and there is more than an obvious need to raise their  voice in their defense>, he stressed.

Adviser of the State Minister of Artsakh Artak Beglaryan, who joined  the participants of the action, highly appreciated the actions of the  youth, who have national self-consciousness. "It is very important  not to remain indifferent to everything that is happening in Artsakh.  It is necessary to continue actions, unfolding their scale, because  the Motherland is one for everyone, its problems concern everyone,  and if these problems are not resolved today, or are ignored,  everyone will feel the consequences, up to the loss of the  Motherland. "Everyone should show their activity in the actions,  regardless of age, place of residence and political orientation," the  councilor noted.

It should be noted that on December 12 at 10:30 am a group of  Azerbaijanis in civilian clothes blocked the Stepanakert-Goris  highway. Armenian telegram channels have already identified employees  of the special services of Azerbaijan among the so-called ecologists.  The Azerbaijanis are behaving loosely, trying to provoke Russian  peacekeepers, and have set up a tent on the only road linking Artsakh  with Armenia. The road remains closed to this day. The so-called  Azerbaijani environmentalists, who were lit up in the photo with a  demonstration of the symbol of Turkish "Gray Wolves"  ultranationalists, said that they would remain on the road until the  head of the peacekeeping contingent, Andrei Volkov, arrived.

In addition, on the evening of December 13, Azerbaijan also closed  the valve of the gas pipeline that supplies gas to the population of  Nagorno Karabakh. The international community reacts rather  sluggishly to this terror perpetrated by Aliyev's dictatorial regime.  Late on December 13, more than 24 hours later, the US State  Department, France and the EU called for traffic to be restored. We  add that the first provocations by the so-called environmentalists  began on December 3 with the blocking of the Berdzor (Lachin)  corridor connecting Artsakh with Armenia. Over the past week, the  enemy side periodically undertook various kinds of provocations, both  against Russian peacekeepers and against the civilian population. And  already on December 10, a group of Azerbaijanis tried to get into two  mines operating in the NKR, however, the Karabakh people did not  allow the enemies to get into these mines.
