Armenian envoy calls for clear int'l stance on Azerbaijan's actions

PanARMENIAN.Net - Ambassador-at-Large of Armenia Edmon Marukyan has called on the international community to take a clear stance on Azerbaijan's 23-day blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh).

"It's been 22 days since Azerbaijan keeps the 120K NK population under siege by blocking the Lachin Corridor," Marukyan said on January 2.

"Obviously, [Azerbaijan] chose a policy of starving peaceful people. International community should take a clear stance and tell what consequences [Azerbaijan] should face for such behaviour."

For over 20 days 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.
