We attach great importance to the calls made at the highest
level by the United Nations, the European Union, the Council of Europe and
other respected international actors for the immediate lifting by Azerbaijan of
the illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor. At the same time, it is evident
that such appeals have no impact whatsoever on the leadership of Azerbaijan.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Artsakh made a statement.
It is mentioned in the statement that in a climate of
impunity and complete lack of accountability, Azerbaijan continues its
genocidal policy and subjects 120,000 people of Artsakh to starvation, creating
unbearable living conditions for them.
“The recent statements coming from Azerbaijan about the
possibility of using alternative routes for the alleged delivery of
humanitarian aid to Artsakh, once again demonstrate that Baku is using the
blockade as a weapon and a means of exerting pressure on the people of Artsakh.
The Azerbaijani authorities exploit the suffering of people and the
humanitarian catastrophe they have created in order to achieve their political
goals. Such actions and behavior by Azerbaijan must be strongly rejected by the
international community as inhumane.
In this regard, once again, we strongly urge all concerned
states, international organizations and other actors to move from words to
action in order to put an end to the international crimes committed by
Azerbaijan against Artsakh and its people,” reads the statement.
