It is part of Azerbaijan’s criminal policy of blocking Artsakh Armenians, isolating them from the outside world, another attempt to suppress the absolute legitimate right of self-determination of Artsakh Armenians in absolute violation of international rules.
The Azerbaijani “environmental activist leaders” who blocked the Artsakh-Armenia road are directly financed by the Azerbaijani government or organizations affiliated with the authorities.
The studies of the Center for Law and Justice “Tatoyan” Foundation show that the Azerbaijani media have full access to the scene of the incident, including through live broadcasting. Armenian mass media have no coverage, they are not even allowed to approach the place.
Evidence of this criminal policy will be sent to international organizations.
