“Today I visited the Lachin corridor. It is the only road linking Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia and the outside world.
In December last year, it was blocked by Azerbaijanis. Since then, no civilian or commercial traffic has been able reach Nagorno-Karabakh. This has left some 120,000 residents without access to essential goods and services, including life-saving medication and health care.
Europe cannot close its eyes to a humanitarian crisis happening on our borders.
The EU must use its relationship with Azerbaijan and push them to lift the blockade and fulfil their international commitments. If we do not, a humanitarian risks becoming a humanitarian catastrophe.”- NATO’s former Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Facebook.
