Yesterday, on 20 December, there was an open session of the Security Council at the UN, in which the issue of the situation in Artsakh was discussed, which was very pleasing, because it was important that the issue of Nagorno Karabakh – Artsakh, was on the highest discussion agenda.

Artsakh Minister of State Ruben Vardanyan said today, on 21 December, live on Facebook.

“It was very important that the reaction was one-sided, that it is unacceptable. The road to Artsakh has been closed for more than 200 hours, we are in a blockade, and the reaction of the whole world, of all countries, was very sharp and clear. This is acceptable and the way should be opened without preconditions or discussions. The general decision was that this is an unacceptable situation,” Vardanyan said.

He thanked the countries protecting the interests of Artsakh.
