In this regard, we consider it essential to emphasize that on August 8, the President of the Republic of Artsakh appealed to the Government of the Republic of Armenia, calling to immediately present to the UN Security Council for consideration the humanitarian disaster caused by Azerbaijan's blocking of the Lachine Corridor in Artsakh.

We call on the UN Security Council, which bears the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, preventing genocides and other mass crimes, as well as ensuring the implementation of the decisions of the UN International Court of Justice, to respond appropriately to the situation and decide on the complete closure of the Lachine Corridor. , on implementing necessary, urgent, and practical measures aimed at immediate and unconditional unblocking.
