Artsakh has been under siege for 218 days.

Today, on July 17, the President of the Republic of Artsakh, Arayik Harutyunyan announced that taking into account the extreme situation and the approaching humanitarian and security disaster, he decided to resort to extreme measures: that is, to join the sit-in started by many citizens in Stepanakert Renaissance Square.

Later, it was reported that the Azerbaijani side completely cut off the gas supply that was restored yesterday in the afternoon.

 “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.”

However, the fact is that the road is still closed.

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 218 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.”
