Artur Tovmasyan, President of the Artsakh National Assembly, Referred to the Republic of Artsakh 1-month blockade
12 January 2023

Today, January 12, the 32nd day of the blockade of the Republic of Artsakh, 1 calendar month, has passed.

Azerbaijan is increasingly intensifying the pressure. For the 4th day already, the only power line feeding Artsakh from Armenia has been disrupted, and the Azerbaijani side is obstructing the implementation of its restoration works.

Such events were not unexpected for us. We are facing a little chance of surviving the harsh winter.

What both the military and political power of Azerbaijan and the people of Artsakh want is clear.

An unprecedented difficult situation continues in Artsakh. The crisis deepens as a result of the blockade.

Political and humanitarian negotiations between the Republics of Azerbaijan and Artsakh can only take place in an atmosphere of mutual trust. Unfortunately, that atmosphere is missing today; moreover, the blockade has further distanced the parties from the possibility of starting such kind of negotiations.

In this regard, we expect the support of the international community, particularly the co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group.

The people of Artsakh are unbreakable.
