Minister Mirzoyan emphasized that the blockade of the Lachin corridor by Azerbaijan violates not only the trilateral statement of November 9, 2020 signed also by the president of Azerbaijan, but also the international humanitarian and human rights norms and two Orders of the International Court of Justice. The importance of lifting the blockade of the Lachin corridor, which connects Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, and addressing the rights and security issues of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh in the context of the effectiveness of the general peace process were stressed.
