Artsakh has been under siege for 229 days.
It has been more than a month since Azerbaijan has blocked all kinds of cargo and humanitarian transportation to Artsakh.
On 28 July, the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh Artur Tovmasyan announced that he is going to resign.
Later it became known that he has health problems.
On July 26, Armenia sent 360 tons of humanitarian aid to the people of Artsakh. Trucks carrying humanitarian goods have arrived in Kornidzor, waiting for the response of the command of the Russian peacekeeping force, so that it is possible to deliver the goods to the territory of the Republic of Artsakh. The sent goods have been waiting in Kornidzor for more than a day. Azerbaijan does not allow humanitarian cargo, including baby food and medicine, to reach the territory of Artsakh.
On 27 July, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan gathered the diplomatic representatives accredited in the country and presented the humanitarian aid as a provocation from the Armenian side.
On 22 February, the International Court published the decision regarding the request submitted by Armenia and stated: “Since 12 December, the connection through the Lachin Corridor has been disrupted, 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.
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 227 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 Armeniaalso 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.”
