ArmInfo. While Hikmet Hajiyev spares no effort to "prove" that "Lachin Corridor is open," the international community replies back with the statement of ICRC that "latest deliveries of medical supplies [to Nagorno Karabakh] occurred July 7, while latest delivery of food occurred June 14". This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Artsakh on Twitter.
Earlier, Assistant of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Head of Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmet Hajiyev in an interview with Politico assured that the Kashatagh (Lachin) corridor is open. True, he could not explain why neither humanitarian aid nor representatives of the ICRC could pass through the corridor.
Instead, he went on to talk about how his government wants to provide aid not only through the Kashatagh corridor from Armenia, but also through the Azerbaijani city of Aghdam (Akna), since it "historically links Karabakh with the Azerbaijani mainland" and is "less costly and more convenient." Although, if Azerbaijan did not interfere with the functioning of the internationally recognized corridor, Artsakh would not have needed any help. Artsakh would have lived its normal life, as it has done since 1991, from the moment of declaring independence in accordance with the constitution of the USSR.
