ArmInfo. The co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group, the RUSSIAN FEDERATION, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, and FRANCE, are obliged to put an end to Azerbaijani criminal permissiveness and impunity. Artsakh Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan made a similar call on his Facebook page.
"In the conditions of the complete blockade of Artsakh, this method of infrastructural intimidation aims to subject the civilian population of Artsakh to additional suffering and create unbearable human conditions in Artsakh. Azerbaijan's behavior is an insult to the agenda of human rights, humanitarian values, and civilization. States and international structures, and first of all the co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group, the RUSSIAN FEDERATION, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, and FRANCE, are obliged to put an end to Azerbaijani criminal permissiveness and impunity," he wrote.
The only road connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the outside world has been closed by the so-called Azerbaijani eco-activists since December 12. During this period, Baku stopped supplying gas to Artsakh for several days. On January 9, at 14:35, an accident occurred on the 33rd km of the only high-voltage line 110 kV Goris-Stepanakert supplying Artsakh from Armenia, and since the accident occurred on the section controlled by Azerbaijan, Baku still does not provide an opportunity to organize emergency and restoration work both peacekeepers and the relevant services of Artsakh. Today, the Azerbaijani side "distinguished itself" by cutting the Internet connection cables entering Artsakh.
