By blocking the corridor Azerbaijan aims at discrediting role of Russian peacekeepers – Artsakh Parliament Speaker

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 12, ARMENPRESS. Speaker of Parliament of Artsakh Artur Tovmasyan condemned the provocative actions of Azerbaijan, stating that the right of the Artsakh and its people to full life and live is under danger.

“On December 12, starting at 10:30, for already the 2nd time the Azerbaijani side has blocked the only interstate road connecting Artsakh to Armenia.

The right of the Republic of Artsakh and the people of Artsakh to a full life and live is unprecedentedly under danger.

By blocking the corridor, the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan pursues several goals:

-to change the status quo which was created after the trilateral statement of November 9, 2022

-to discredit the role of the Russian peacekeeping forces

-to check our vigilance, and if it doesn’t exist, to empty Armenians from Artsakh

We call on the concerned organizations of the international community to strongly condemn the provocative actions of Azerbaijan and apply adequate restraint mechanisms against Azerbaijan.

We apply to the authorities and people of Armenia, the Diaspora-Armenians and our compatriots living in Artsakh to put aside the internal disagreements for the sake of the protection of border regions of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh, otherwise tomorrow will be too late”, the Speaker said.
