While Hikmet Hajiyev spares no effort to "prove" that "Lachin Corridor is open," the international community replies back with the statement of ICRC that "latest deliveries of medical supplies [to Nagorno Karabakh] occurred July 7, while latest delivery of food occurred June 14." This is noted in a statement on X—former Twitter—by the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

Hikmet Hajiyev, the assistant to the president of Azerbaijan and the head of the department of foreign policy issues of the presidential staff, had told Politico  that "the Lachin road is open." He said that his government wants the humanitarian aid to be delivered to Nagorno-Karabakh just not via the Lachin corridor from Armenia, but from the Azerbaijani city of Aghdam because it “historically links Karabakh to mainland Azerbaijan” and is “less costly and more convenient.”

“Why are the Armenians refusing to use the Aghdam road?” Hajiyev had asked. “Because they don’t seek reintegration—they simply seek separatism and they seek irredentism and would like to preserve their illegal puppet regime on the territory of Azerbaijan.”
