The UN International Court of Justice satisfied the demand of Armenia a while ago and obliged Azerbaijan not to obstruct the free movement of people, transport and cargo along the “Lachin Corridor” in both directions.
On behalf of the authorities and people of Artsakh, I would like to express special gratitude to Yeghishe Kirakosyan, representative on International Legal Matters of the Republic of Armenia, to all those involved in this proceeding for their most important mission.
This decision is another unobjectionable international legal basis, implying that the people of Artsakh, subjected to racial discrimination and hatred, cannot live within Azerbaijan.
I consider this to be a turning point in our international struggle, and together with the Republic of Armenia, we will continue to use all the international legal mechanisms for the protection of the rights of the people of Artsakh.
The state bodies of Artsakh have my clear instruction to support these efforts to the maximum extent.
Artsakh Republic President Arayik Harutyunyan
