Azerbaijanis have passed the checkpoint of Russian peacekeepers and are trying to set up tents. Alyosha Gabrielyan, former mayor of Askeran city of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), told this "Artsakh" news agency.

"At the moment, we are 200 to 400 meters away from the Azerbaijanis. We are here to prevent the entry of [Azerbaijani] ‘humanitarian’ cargo into Artsakh. We don't need the aid they send. Let them open the Kashatagh [(Lachin)] corridor," said Gabrielyan.

A group of Artsakh residents are currently on the Stepanakert-Akna (Aghdam) road section.
