Martakert-Karvachar road closed for Azerbaijanis from December 12

ArmInfo. The Martakert-Karvachar road has been closed to Azerbaijanis since  December 12 and will not be open until the only road of life in  Artsakh is unblocked.  This was reported by the Artsakh media with  reference to the head of the administration of the Martakert region  Arsen Avanesyan.

On December 12 at 10:30 am, a group of Azerbaijanis in civilian  clothes again blocked the Stepanakert- Goris highway "for  environmental reasons." 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 head  of the peacekeeping contingent, Andrei Volkov, arrived. In addition,  from the evening of December 13, Azerbaijan also shut off the valve  of the gas pipeline through which gas is supplied to the population  of Nagorno-Karabakh. The gas supply was restored three days later.   It is noteworthy that the Azerbaijanis who blocked the  Stepanakert-Goris highway changed their demands, and now they demand  the control and activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and  the State Security Service of Azerbaijan throughout the territory of  the Republic of Artsakh. 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 the Russian peacekeepers in the NKR 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  the mines.
