37th day of Artsakh blockade: Azerbaijan cuts gas supply

ArmInfo. Gas supply to Artsakh has been disrupted. Azerbaijan continues its actions to  de-Armenianize Artsakh, Mesrob Arakelyan, Assistant to the Artsakh  State Minister, reported. 

The Lachin Corridor has been blocked by Azerbaijan since 12 December  2022. The corridor is the only travel and supply route for the  120,000 Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). The blockade has  caused a humanitarian crisis. Shortages of essential products such as  food and medicine prompted Nagorno Karabakh authorities to introduce  rationing.

Hospitals are keeping planned surgeries on hold. 1,100  residents of Nagorno Karabakh, including 270 children who were in  Armenia when the road was blocked are unable to return to their  homes. Furthermore, Azerbaijan has barred repair crews from accessing  the area where the only high-voltage power line supplying Artsakh  with electricity from Armenia was damaged on January 9.
