ARMENPRESS. Nagorno Karabakh has released images showing an Azerbaijani military armored personnel carrier blocking the entrance to the Lachin Corridor on the Hakari Bridge.
The Lachin Corridor – the only road linking Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia – has been blocked by Azerbaijan since 12 December 2022. During the blockade the Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers were able to deliver relief supplies and carry out medical evacuations, but Azerbaijan blocked this as well last week.
Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) State Minister’s adviser Artak Beglaryan shared the images showing the APC blocking the road.

“The images show how the Azerbaijani armored vehicles have blocked the only Artsakh-Armenia road near the illegal Azerbaijani checkpoint. Is this their guarantee for “free movement” with which they lie to the whole world, falsely claiming that there is no blockade?” Beglaryan said in a statement on social media.
He called on the international community to assume responsibility to prevent a security disaster and humanitarian disaster in Nagorno Karabakh.
“We expect the most urgent and practical steps from Armenia, Russia, the US, France, the EU, UN and all other actors, and we expect major pressure on everyone from the Diaspora-Armenians.”
