Since December 12, the Azerbaijani authorities, under the guise of fake “environmental” activists, have blocked the only road connecting Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) to Armenia and the world, Lachin Corridor, which is rightly called the “road of life”. 120 thousand people living in Artsakh, including 30 thousand children, found themselves in the conditions of a real humanitarian disaster, being deprived of food, fuel, medicine.
Armenia conveyed to Azerbaijan its proposals around a peace treaty and is ready to sign it with that content, Nikol Pashinyan said at the Cabinet meeting.
I urge everyone in their power to help my homeland by spreading the message and finding ways to help the people in a great need.
Today we have entered the 10th day of the blockade of Artsakh. The regime in Baku is holding 120 thousand citizens of the Republic of Artsakh as hostages.
For 9 days, Artsakh has been completely blockaded by Azerbaijan.
Today, December 20, is the 9th day of the Azerbaijani siege of Artsakh. Groong and 168.am are continuing their collaboration in producing English-language content to cover the humanitarian catastrophe in Artsakh.
It’s already the 9th day, Azerbaijani eco-provocateurs have closed the only road connecting Artsakh to Armenia, as a result of which a humanitarian and security crisis has been created in the Republic of Artsakh. Meanwhile, the RA law enforcement agencies react without delay to the posts on Facebook pages and prosecute the opponents.
