The demarcation and delimitation between Armenia and Azerbaijan with the support of the Russian Federation are very important in the provisions of the trilateral agreements. Polyansky

We are concerned that the blockade of the Lachin Corridor continues, and now more than ever, action is needed on the ground to de-escalate tensions over Nagorno-Karabakh, in particular, to end the blockade of the Lachin Corridor and use other humanitarian avenues. Russia, with the support of both sides, is making every effort to resolve this crisis quickly. Dmitry Polyansky, the first Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, announced at the extraordinary session of the UN Security Council.

"We continue to maintain active contact with all parties involved in order to quickly resume the supply of food, medicine and other necessary items, as well as gas and electricity to Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.

"Demarcation and delimitation between Armenia and Azerbaijan with the support of Russia are very important in the provisions of the tripartite agreements, in order to restore the transport routes," Polyansky said.

According to him, the reconciliation of Armenia and Azerbaijan is not possible if there are no clear guarantees of security and rights for the residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, based on internationally recognized principles, "in the context of Azerbaijan's laws".

According to the representative of the Russian Federation, this logic derives from the recent agreements, which were reaffirmed by the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan: each side recognizes the territorial integrity of the other in 1991. According to the Declaration of Alma Ata.

Polyansky noted that during the July 25 talks between the foreign ministers of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Russian side offered realistic compromises to ease the tension, which the parties took into account. "It implies the opening of a parallel humanitarian corridor through Aghdam and Lachin for the movement of civilians and goods, so that the dialogue between the representatives of Baku and the representatives of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh can be quickly resumed."

According to the representative of the Russian Federation at the UN, Russia hopes that the political will be shown in the process to overcome the created situation, to have a lasting dialogue in the Baku-Stepanakert format.

"Russia is ready to work with all responsible actors who are interested in the settlement of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and the reconciliation of Armenia and Azerbaijan in general," Polyansky said
