A group of Artsakh residents is carrying out a rally in front of the RA government building. According to them, Artsakh is under blockade, but as of today, they do not see any positive steps.

“We have seen that the RA Prime Minister personally told Vladimir Putin in the Russian Federation that the road to Lachin Corridor is closed, and they are not taking any positive steps. The Republic of Artsakh is under blockade. it is a flagrant violation of human rights. They are not taking any positive steps, that is, in fact, we have come to the conviction that the Russian peacekeeping forces can’t fulfill their task, but they can’t understand how such a superpower can take on such a task to ensure a peaceful life for people for at least 5 years, and less than 2 years later, people are already in a blockade.”

When asked why they don’t go to the Russian embassy, the participant of the action answered:
“Why should we go to the embassy if the Prime Minister of Armenia has personally told the President of the Russian Federation,” said the participant, noting that they came here to demand that measures be taken to open the corridor, at least to deliver humanitarian aid.

One of the Artsakh residents who participated in the action said that they had two goals for gathering here.
“First of all, we have gathered to show our support to our young people fighting for the people in Stepanakert, especially the young people, not the members of the assembly, not the deputies, not the rest, because we do not see places aimed at the freedom of the people.”

Speaking about the second demand, the Artsakh citizen mentioned that they gathered here a few months ago and presented a demand and questions to the government consisting of several points.

“Our demands were very simple and understandable. We came here as refugees and asked to be granted refugee status. The question was as follows: Do you want to give the status, if not, why? “.

According to the resident of Artsakh, they also asked whether the RA government will keep them here as a community or not, if not, is it ready to extradite them to a third country? However, the government did not answer any questions.
