Javakhk’s Diaspora of Russia issued a statement calling for raising the blockade of Armenia.

The international community condemns the blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt, whereas Turkey and Azerbaijan keep on maintaining the blockade of Armenia before everyone’s eyes. One of the reasons is the unresolved conflict over international recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh. Palestine, especially the Gaza Strip, is in a similar situation, says the statement.

Armenia is a WTO member, and the organization’s charter bans any discrimination of its members. The blockade of Armenia is against both international agreements and human morals.

“We condemn the actions of Turkey and Azerbaijan and call on the UN General Assembly, Security Council and entire world community to assist in lifting Armenia’s blockade by Turkey and Azerbaijan,” reads the statement published by the Yerkramas newspaper.
