The Azerbaijani company “Azerigaz” issued a message stating that the Azerbaijani side has nothing to do with the termination of the gas supply in Artsakh.

“Undoubtedly, it is aimed at misleading the international community and pushing the international public opinion in the wrong direction,” the message said.

The company noted that gas supply in the territory of the Republic of Artsakh is carried out by Armenia and it is not integrated into the gas supply system of Azerbaijan.

“In the coming days, a technical inspection will be carried out in the section passing through the territories controlled by Azerbaijan. As it is known, due to cold weather conditions, there are disruptions of the gas pipeline in other mountainous and foothill regions of Azerbaijan. In general, conducting a technical inspection is considered as one of the steps designed to ensure a stable and safe gas supply,” the message states.

It should be reminded that from 10:30 in the morning of December 12, a group of Azerbaijanis closed the Shushi-Karin section of the Stepanakert-Goris highway for environmental reasons. Hundreds of citizens, including minors, cannot return home, and some of them temporarily stayed in Syunik Marz. The transport connection of Lisagor, Mets Shen, Hin Shen, and Yegtsahogh villages of the Shushi region with the capital Stepanakert is interrupted.

And yesterday it became known that the work of the gas pipeline feeding Artsakh was disrupted by Azerbaijanis.
