“It wasn’t a preferred statement” – Nagorno Karabakh official on Russia’s UNSC speech on Lachin Corridor

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS. The statement delivered by Russia at the UN Security Council meeting did not unequivocally reflect the actual situation around Lachin Corridor, the Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) State Minister’s advisor Artak Beglaryan told reporters.

Beglaryan is holding a sit-in demonstration outside the UN Armenia office continuously since the Azeri blockade of Lachin Corridor began.

“It wasn’t a preferred statement to say the least,” Beglaryan told reporters. “Meaning, given my status I am displaying restraint over certain assessments, but the fact that Russia’s statement was not reflecting the reality is definitely the case. I can only assume the reasons, they took into consideration various interests, interrelations, possible risks, but they are the ones who should comment why they made such a statement,” Beglaryan said.
