Azerbaijan, Russian peacekeepers have obligation to keep Lachin corridor operable – PM Pashinyan at MSC2023
Chairman of the Munich Security Conference Christoph Heusgen asked Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan to comment on the blockade of Lachin corridor during a panel discussion at the Munich Security Conference, ARMENPRESS reports.
“You are right, it is already 70 days that Lachin corridor is blocked and now unfortunately we have humanitarian crisis in Nagorno Karabakh, and an anergy crisis as well because electricity supplies to Nagorno Karabakh have been shut down, and the gas supplies as well have been shut down, and we counted and during last 70 days the gas supplies were cut at least 10 times and it is a problem that should be addressed. And our position is that in the trilateral statement from 9 November 2020 we have very precise provisions connected with Lachin corridor, and according to that statement it is the obligation of Azerbaijan and Russian peacekeepers to keep Lachin corridor operable, but now, unfortunately we have totally different situation and I meant Lachin corridor as well saying that international attention should be kept on this situation, because we are afraid that continuation of this situation can cause unturnable humanitarian consequences for Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh,” PM Nikol Pashinyan said at a panel discussion alongside Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and the Secretary General of the OSCE Helga Schmid at the Munich Security Conference, moderated by Chairman of the Munich Security Conference Christoph Heusgen.
