Azerbaijan prevents UN agencies, international organizations` entry  to Artsakh - Armenia`s foreign office 

ArmInfo.Possible ways of solving the humanitarian needs of Artsakh Armenians were actively  discussed with the offices of the UN World Food Program. This is stated in the answer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the question of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL).

"From the very first day of Azerbaijan's illegal blocking of the  Kashatagh (Lachin) corridor, the Armenian Foreign Ministry has been  consistently working with international organizations to remove the  blockade of the corridor within their mandates and provide  humanitarian assistance to the population of Nagorno- Karabakh," the  RA Foreign Ministry said in a response.

As to whether Armenia is taking any concrete steps to deliver aid to  the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh by air, through the UN food agency  or Russian peacekeepers in the conditions when Azerbaijan has been  prohibiting the transportation of any humanitarian cargo from Armenia  through the Kashatagh corridor for more than a month and there is an  acute shortage of food in Artsakh, the Foreign Ministry noted in  particular: "With the Yerevan and regional offices of the UN World  Food Program (WFP), within the competence of the latter, possible  ways were actively discussed addressing the humanitarian needs of  Artsakh Armenians".

According to the agency, the issue was also discussed during the  visit to Yerevan in April of the Regional Director for the Middle  East, North Africa and Eastern Europe of the UN World Food Programme.

In this context, the Armenian Foreign Ministry emphasizes that  Azerbaijan constantly prevents the entry of UN agencies and other  international structures into Nagorno-Karabakh.

"Under the coordination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of  Armenia, other responsible departments of the Republic of Armenia are  also in direct contact with the leadership of the World Food Program.  The above works are of an ongoing nature, and the public will be  informed about the results in the prescribed manner," the official  statement reads.
