Armenia has urged the United Nations to deploy a fact-finding mission to Artsakh and the Lachin Corridor to assess the humanitarian situation on the ground.
Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the UN, Mher Margaryan, told at the UN Security Council meeting, held on December 20, that Azerbaijan has actually targeted the 120,000 people of Artsakh, by completely isolating them during the harsh winter season. The blockade of the Lachine Corridor has obstructed the provision of healthcare and social services, causing life-threatening situations, he added.
The diplomat also urged the UN Security Council to demand that Azerbaijan fully respect the provisions of the Trilateral Statement of 9 November 2020, and to immediately and unconditionally unblock the Lachin corridor, by removing all obstacles for safe, secure and unimpeded transport communication.
