  Azerbaijan again shuts gas pipeline to Karabakh hours after restoring supplies February 16, 2023 - 17:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - On February 15, Azerbaijan partially restored gas supply to Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh), which it had shut off since February 8. Given the insufficient volume of available gas, it was decided that service would be restored only for residential subscribers in Stepanakert for the time being, the NKR InfoCenter reports. However, on the evening of the same day, Azerbaijan again completely shut off the operation of the only gas pipeline entering Artsakh. The act of connecting and then immediately disconnecting the gas supply during cold winter weather and at nighttime is a deliberate attempt by Azerbaijan to cause accidents and other problems for the people of Artsakh, the InfoCenter added. Since December 12, the sole road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia - the Lachin Corridor - has been blocked by self-described Azerbaijani environmentalists. Karabakh residents have reported food and fuel shortages, while hospital patients don't have access to essential medicines, with only a handful allowed transfer to facilities in Armenia proper.
