Russia reports on Azerbaijan’s blocking of sole Karabakh-Armenia road

PanARMENIAN.Net - On December 12, the highway connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia was blocked by the Azerbaijani side, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Ministry said that the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent deployed in Karabakh is negotiating with representatives of Azerbaijan to resume the unhindered movement of civilian vehicles along the road.

On Monday morning, several Azerbaijani nationals, who claimed to be environmental experts, blocked passage through the Lachin corridor, the only road linking Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Yerevan slammed this step as a provocation staged by Baku to cause a humanitarian collapse in Karabakh.
