Since 12 December, Azerbaijan has reportedly blocked the Lachin Corridor, a mountain road which links Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia.
On Sunday, Pope Francis invited all parties to find “peaceful solutions for the good of the people.”
Around 120,000 Armenians, including 30,000 children, live in the enclave, and the alleged road closure has isolated them from the world and deprived them of food, medicine, and basic necessities.

‘Precarious humanitarian conditions’
The Pope said he is “concerned about the situation created in the Lachin Corridor in the South Caucasus.”
“I am concerned about the precarious humanitarian conditions of the people, which are in further danger of deteriorating during the winter season,” he said.
