The situation in Nagorno-Karabakh cannot be called anything other than a humanitarian crisis.  Moreover, this crisis arose as a result of Azerbaijan’s failure to fulfill its international obligations.  RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this at the beginning of the government session, referring to the situation in the Lachin Corridor.

 “Closing the Lachin Corridor is a direct and gross violation of the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020 by Azerbaijan on the simple grounds that according to point 6 of the said declaration, the Lachin Corridor is under the control of the Russian peacekeeping troops in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Republic of Azerbaijan guarantees  is the safety of citizens, vehicles and cargo traffic,” Pashinyan stated.

 According to the RA Prime Minister, Azerbaijan’s violations of the November 9, 2020 statement are of a chronic nature, and these violations are as follows: the first point of the statement states the cessation of fire and all military operations in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.
