Today, at the start of the executive session, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan referred to the tripartite meeting held in Brussels on July 15 amid the illegal blocking of the Lachin Corridor and the deepening humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, noting that, unfortunately, that meeting did not yield any concrete results in terms of opening the Lachin Corridor and overcoming the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to the Prime Minister, politically, in his statement following the meeting, the President of the EU Council emphasized the need to open the Lachin Corridor, as well as the need to address the security and rights agenda of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians through dialogue between Stepanakert and Baku.

"Our belief was and continues to be that without international involvement and mechanisms, this dialogue cannot be effective, at least because Baku continues its aggressive and threatening rhetoric towards the NK Armenians, whose deep goal, in our estimation, is the implementation of ethnic cleansing in NK," said Nikol Pashinyan, noting that this is not a theoretical claim, but a concrete plan implemented by illegally blocking the Lachin Corridor, the direct manifestation of which the complete lack of supply of electricity, natural gas, food, and other essential goods to Nagorno-Karabakh, to make it impossible for Armenians to live in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The Prime Minister also reminded about the legally binding decisions of the UN Court of Justice, by which Azerbaijan is obliged to open the Lachin Corridor, which still needs to be implemented.
