A group of Azerbaijanis in civilian clothing have blocked the highway connecting Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh, citing "environmental reasons", the Official Infocenter of Karabakh reports.

"It is obvious that Azerbaijan is resorting to provocation to cut the land connection between Armenia and Artsakh and subject the civilian population to psychological terror," the Infocenter said in a statement on Saturday, December 3.

The Karabakh authorities said the Russian peacekeeping contingent deployed in Karabakh has been informed about the situation.
