Armenia: Russia responsible for everything happening in Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - Secretary of the Armenian Security Council Armen Grigoryan believes everything that is happening in the Berdzor (Lachin) corridor connecting Nagorno Karabakh, to Armenia is Russia's responsibility.

“According to the trilateral statement dated November 9, 2020, the Lachin corridor is under Russian control and there are Russian peacekeepers there,” Grigoryan said in an interview with the Public Television.

“Responsibility for all the events taking place there lies with the Russian Federation. Russia must act so that the 120,000 Armenians who live in Nagorno-Karabakh are not subjected to ethnic cleansing.”

The only purpose of Azerbaijan’s actions is ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh, he added, citing ultimatums coming from Baku.

Azerbaijani authorities on April 23 set up a checkpoint on the only road connecting the Karabakh with Armenia. Baku also maintained that they have informed the command of the Russian peacekeepers and the Russian-Turkish monitoring center about the installment of the checkpoint.
