The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Azerbaijan has unclearly denied its involvement in the suspension of natural gas supply in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

"Armenia's non-constructive approach, baseless allegations reveal the real intentions of that country. We advise Armenia to ensure the fulfillment of the obligations undertaken by trilateral statements, including the withdrawal of the armed forces from the region, and thus contribute to regional peace and security, and not to make baseless statements," said Leyla Abdullayeva, Head of the Press Service Department of the Azerbaijan MFA.

But one can only guess what exactly Abdullayeva considers "baseless allegations."

The supply of natural gas to Artsakh was stopped on March 8, when the natural gas pipeline coming from was damaged in the area under the control of the Azerbaijani armed forces.

The Azerbaijani side was creating obstacles for nine days to repairing this damaged natural gas pipeline. And finally on March 16, according to the Artsakh Info Center, thanks to negotiations with the assistance of the Armenian government and Russian peacekeepers, the Azerbaijani side began repairing this natural gas pipeline, and the repair was completed on March 19.

On Monday, however, the Artsakh Info Center informed that the natural gas supply to Artsakh was stopped again—and due to the direct interference of the Azerbaijani side.
