Karabakh denies Azerbaijan’s sabotage accusations

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army has denied accusations from Azerbaijan alleging that the Armenian troops have staged a provocation and planted a mine in territories controlled by Azerbaijan, which has purportedly caused the death of two civilians.

The Defense Army has been denying various accusations from Azerbaijan for quite some time now.

Since December 12, 2022, the sole road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia - the Lachin Corridor - has been blocked by Azerbaijan. Baku tightened the blockade on June 15, 2023, banning emergency relief supplies that were carried out by Russian peacekeepers and the International Committee of the Red Cross through the sole road connecting Karabakh to Armenia and the outside world. The move aggravated the shortages of food, medicine and other essential items experienced by the region’s population. On August 15, Karabakh Human Rights Defender’s office reported the first case of death from starvation.
