At the Kornidzor section of Syunik Province, near the Lachin corridor, ten more trucks were added Wednesday to the 22 trucks with humanitarian cargo waiting for the opportunity to enter Nagorno-Karabakh. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government.

Informing that the delegation led by the mayor of Paris accompanied the convoy sent by several regions of France to Kornidzor, Pashinyan said that neither that nor the convoy already waiting there since July 26 was given the opportunity to pass through the corridor.

"This means that Azerbaijan, in the presence of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, continues the policy of subjecting the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh to genocide through starvation," the Armenian PM added.

According to him, the main objective of this policy is to free Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenians.

Pashinyan reminded one of the scenarios of the monstrous plan of Azerbaijan that he had previously presented.

"Azerbaijan is planning to unilaterally open the Lachin corridor in the most acute part of the humanitarian crisis, or maybe even more acute; that is, to weaken the exit of people from Nagorno-Karabakh and not allow [their] return," he said.

The Armenian premier noted that this policy of genocide and depatriation by Azerbaijan is taking place in the 21st century, and right before the eyes of the international community.

"As I said before, I see a way out of the created situation through the Baku-Stepanakert dialogue within the framework of the international mechanism. The international mechanism is vitally necessary in this situation. Otherwise, as we have been convinced, Baku aborts this opportunity of dialogue by all possible means," he said.

According to Pashinyan, efforts aimed at focusing international attention on the current humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh should be continued.

"At the core of that attention should be the decisions of the International Court of Justice. With those decisions, the court has obligated Azerbaijan to carry out all means available to it to guarantee the uninterrupted movement of people, vehicles, and cargo in both directions through the Lachin corridor.

"I draw attention to this wording of the court: in both directions. The court emphasized that its decision creates binding legal force for Azerbaijan. The open disregard of this decision by Azerbaijan is a clear manifestation of that country's depatriation policy, as it is characteristic of the practice of those who implement such policies to disregard decisions with legal force. And we must tirelessly promote the idea of sending an international fact-finding mission to the Lachin corridor and Nagorno-Karabakh because, especially now, it is an absolute necessity. Of course, in all respects, the priority and primary task remains to deliver the humanitarian goods to Nagorno-Karabakh urgently, as soon as possible, and to ensure the possibility of their entry," the Armenian PM emphasized.
