A group of Azerbaijanis in civilian clothes has just blocked the Stepanakert-Goris highway at the Shushi-Karin crossroads, explaining their step with environmental reasons, the Artsakh Information Headquarters reported.

"It is obvious that with this step Azerbaijan resorts to a provocation in order to cut the land communication between Armenia and Artsakh and to subject the peaceful population to psychological terror.

“The command of the Russian peacekeeping forces stationed in Artsakh has been duly informed about the incident. Authorized state bodies of Artsakh are taking all possible measures to resolve the situation," the statement says.
