Nagorno-Karabakh’s leadership demanded late on Tuesday that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian walk back on his plans to recognize Azerbaijani sovereignty over Karabakh through an Armenian-Azerbaijani peace treaty.
Nagorno-Karabakh’s public transport system will be brought to a complete halt on Tuesday because of severe shortages of fuel caused by Azerbaijan’s continuing blockade of the Armenian-populated region.
Thousands of people rallied in Stepanakert on Friday in what local officials described as the start of daily protests against Azerbaijan’s seven-month blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh and a worsening humanitarian crisis caused by it.
A checkpoint set up by Azerbaijan at the entrance to the only road leading from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh resulted in a complete halt of all humanitarian supplies to the region before they were “somewhat restored” due to efforts of Russian peacekeepers, authorities in Stepanakert said on Tuesday.
