ArmInfo.On August 16, the UN Security Council will convene an emergency meeting to discuss the deterioration of the humanitarian situation caused by the complete blockade of the civilian population of Artsakh by the Azerbaijani authorities. This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Artsakh.
"The results of the meeting of the UN Security Council will become an indicator of the effectiveness of international actors," the source said.
Since December 12, 2022, Artsakh has been under blockade imposed by Azerbaijan. If until June 15 of this year the International Committee of the Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers had the opportunity to deliver at least limited quantities of essential products for the besieged population of Artsakh, then after June 15 this opportunity is not there either. The 120,000 population of Artsakh is on the verge of starvation amid the inaction of the international community.
We add that since July 26, trucks with humanitarian cargo from the Armenian government in the amount of 360 tons have been standing in Kornidzor and are waiting for the opportunity to travel to the besieged Artsakh.
