STEPANAKERT. – President Arayik Harutyunyan on Tuesday morning chaired an enlarged meeting of the Security Council of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), the Artsakh President's office informs Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The military and political situation created as a result of the blockade of the corridor connecting Artsakh to the outer world by Azerbaijan was on the discussion agenda.

It was underscored that the uninterrupted operation of the corridor is guaranteed by the November 9, 2020 tripartite statement, the provisions of which are once again violated by the Azerbaijani side.
