The Spanish Congress unanimously adopted a statement on the blocking of the Lachin Corridor by Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) State Minister Ruben Vardanyan said on social media on Thursday, December 22.

"I am grateful to all the reps of [the Spanish] Congress for understanding the urgency of the situation & calling upon [Azerbaijan] to unblock the vital connection between Artsakh & the outside world," Vardanyan said and thanked the Spanish lawmakers for the move.

For almost two weeks now, the key road has been blocked by Azerbaijanis who claim to be environmentalists. Azerbaijan had also deprived the people of Karabakh of gas supplies.
