April 17 marks the 127th day of the siege of Artsakh.
According to Iravaban.net, the information headquarters of Artsakh denied the information about the unsafe nature of fruits brought to Artsakh by humanitarian means.
“We announce that the circulating information about the unsafe nature of fruits brought to Artsakh by humanitarian means is false. These products are packed in hermetically sealed boxes, otherwise the entire batch may spoil in one day.
Each product is checked on the spot and approved for sale. Therefore, you can safely make purchases with coupons.
Regarding the spread of fake news, we have contacted the police to find out those who disseminate it and their motives,” the message states.
Due to the blocking of the only road connecting Artsakh to Armenia by Azerbaijan, 9 people with pathologies requiring emergency surgical interventions were transferred from the “Republican Medical Center” CJSC of the Ministry of Health of Artsakh to the RA specialized medical centers on 16 April with the mediation and accompaniment of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
“12 medical patients, who were referred to Armenia for treatment within the framework of the state order, returned to Artsakh with those who accompany them.
Planned surgeries continue to be suspended in the medical facilities operating under the Artsakh Ministry of Health. In “Arevik” medical Associatio, 4 children are in the neonatal and resuscitation department.
At the “Republican Medical Center” CJSC, 6 patients are in the intensive care unit, 3 of them are in critical condition. Until today, a total of 326 patients have been transferred from Artsakh to Armenia with the mediation and accompaniment of the International Committee of the Red Cross,” the message states.
On 22 February, the court published the decision regarding the request submitted by Armenia and stated: “Since 12 December, the connection through the Lachin Corridor has been disrypted, the supply of food, medicine and other necessary goods to Nagorno Karabakh has been hindered, which can cause irreparable damage.
“The Court considers that it is necessary to apply a temporary measure and court records that Azerbaijan is obliged to take the measures that depend on it to ensure the uninterrupted movement of people and goods in both directions through the Lachin Corridor.”
It was noted that the court’s decision came into force from the moment of its publication.
However, the fact is that the road is still closed. The cases of violation of the ceasefire regime by Azerbaijan have increased; this is confirmed by the reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Due to the lack of international pressure on Azerbaijan, the Armenians of Artsakh are facing a humanitarian disaster. The appeals of the international community have been ignored by the leadership of Azerbaijan until now.
Fundamental human rights have been violated for 116 days, and international organizations and states are silent.
Due to the terrorist behavior of the Azerbaijani side, the villages of Shushi region are completely cut off from the capital of Artsakh and other settlements.
It should be noted that the Governing Board of the CSO Anti-Corruption Coalition of Armenia also made a statement. “This blockade, under the guise of environmentalism, pursues the realization of the corrupt ambitions of the despotic leadership of Azerbaijan to seize the most important assets of Artsakh’s economy.”
