“Armenian people in Artsakh are suffering,” Uruguay’s Defense Minister at UN Peacekeeping Operations conference

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS. Uruguay’s Defense Minister Javier García, speaking at the Latin American and Caribbean Conference on UN Peacekeeping Operations in Buenos Aires, warned that the Armenian people in Artsakh are suffering due to a humanitarian crisis resulting from the blockade of the Lachin Corridor.

“We cannot turn a blind eye when the Armenian people in Artsakh are suffering from a humanitarian crisis as a result of human rights violations after the closure of Lachin corridor. If this continent of peace, which unites us and which we accept, is truly a continent with a calling of a leader, then it can’t not condemn the encroachments on peace and human rights that have been taking place since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as the human rights violations the consequences of which the Armenian people are bearing,” Diario Armenia newspaper quoted Garcia as saying.
