Azerbaijan`s refusal to allow entry of humanitarian cargo to  Nagorno-Karabakh evidence of Baku`s intention to starve out  120,000-strong population of Nagorno-Karabakh

ArmInfo. Azerbaijan's refusal to allow the entry of humanitarian cargo to Nagorno-Karabakh is  evidence of Baku's intention to starve out 120,000-strong population of Nagorno-Karabakh, Ambassador-at-Large Edmon Marukyan told reporters.  

Thus, according to Marukyan, international humanitarian law and  massive violation of human rights have been violated. From this point  of view, the ambassador believes, no one can say that the Armenian  authorities have not taken or are not doing anything. The country's  Foreign Ministry even organized a trip for representatives of foreign  diplomatic missions, who studied the humanitarian cargo, submitting  relevant messages to their states. "At the diplomatic level, the work  is being carried out in full. The steps taken by the Armenian side  are predictable and in line with the commitments made in the  framework of the tripartite statement of the leaders of Armenia,  Russia and Azerbaijan dated November 9, 2020," Mr Marukyan said. 

He added that the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh is getting  worse by the hour. "It is necessary to continue the work, and there  is hope that the humanitarian cargo, accompanied by Russian  peacekeepers, will be delivered to its destination," Marukyan said.  He recalled that during a recent trilateral meeting in Moscow, RA  Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan raised the issue of unblocking the  corridor and Azerbaijan's implementation of two decisions of the  International Court of Justice. "It was then not about this  particular cargo, but about the opening of the corridor as a whole,"  he said.
