Denying the entry of humanitarian cargo will confirm Baku's intention to commit genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh. Pashinyan

Under the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, 361 tons of humanitarian aid was sent to Nagorno-Karabakh in 19 trucks by the decision of the management working group to support the people of Nagorno-Karabakh (the group operates under the leadership of Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan). Nikol Pashinyan announced this at the government session today, July 27.

"Humanitarian aid reached Kornidzor, the entrance to Lachin Corridor, yesterday. We have requested that the representatives of the Russian peacekeeping troops stationed in Nagorno-Karabakh accept the cargo and transport it to Nagorno-Karabakh, where a humanitarian crisis has been established as a result of the illegal blockade of Lachin Corridor for 8 months. Azerbaijan, however, prevents the entry of humanitarian goods into the Lachin Corridor and NK. This practice is incomprehensible and unacceptable. Azerbaijan's reason for illegally blocking the Lachin Corridor was that Armenia was using the corridor for military purposes.

Of course, this is an absurd claim, but this claim was used as an excuse for the illegal blocking of the Lachin Corridor," Pashinyan said.

He listed the contents of 19 trucks sent to Artsakh yesterday.

"Flour: 100 tons, pasta: 80 tons, sugar: 60 tons, vegetable oil: 40 tons, milk powder: 40 tons, salt: 20 tons, baby food: 12 tons, medicine: 9 tons.

Before leaving Yerevan, the foreign diplomats accredited in RA were invited and familiarized with the contents of the trucks parked in Shahumyan Square. Why does Azerbaijan not allow these cargoes to enter NK? Is it not because the real goal of Azerbaijan is to starve the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, to subject them to genocide?

Regardless of our assessments, we are waiting for the positive response of the Russian peacekeeping force, official Baku, because not allowing the entry of humanitarian cargo will only confirm the fears of Baku's intention to commit genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The arrival of the humanitarian cargo waiting at the entrance to the Lachin Corridor to Nagorno-Karabakh will contribute to efforts to establish peace in the region, and will be a positive step on the way to establishing an atmosphere of trust."
