Through the mediation of the Russian peacekeeping mission, negotiations are underway with the Azerbaijani side to reopen the Stepanakert-Goris road. Lusine Avanesyan, spokesperson of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) President, told Armenian News-NEWS.am about this.

When asked what reasons and demands the Azerbaijanis are bringing forward, Avanesyan said that she cannot comment on that yet.

"When the situation is resolved, then we will be able to talk about the reasons", Avanesyan added.

Earlier we reported that a group of Azerbaijanis in civilian clothes have blocked—for environmental reasons—the Shushi-Karin Tak intersection sector of the Stepanakert-Goris motorway.
