YEREVAN, DECEMBER 15, ARMENPRESS. A physical blockade of Nagorno Karabakh is tantamount to sentencing its people to a slow death, the Armenia International, midfielder of Inter Milan, Henrikh Mkhitaryan said in a statement on social media.
“The fate of 30,000 children is at danger in Nagorno Karabakh”, Mkhitaryan said presenting the situation in Artsakh (NK) resulting from Azerbaijan’s blockade of the Lachin Corridor – the only read connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the outside world.
“On Monday Azerbaijan blocked the only road connecting Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia and the outside world. This is the only road of life which is used to deliver all cargo to the Nagorno Karabakh population – from food to medicines.
The 120,000 residents of the Republic, including 30,000 children, have found themselves in complete blockade.
Moreover, Azerbaijan has cut off the gas supply – to the devastating effect. Considering it’s winter, and the temperature often dips below zero at nighttime, this puts the local population in immediate danger of freezing to death. And this is becoming a real humanitarian catastrophe.
A physical blockade of Nagorno Karabakh is tantamount to sentencing its people to a slow death”, Mkhitaryan said.
