UN envoy briefed on humanitarian situation in Karabakh

– 11:53 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Human Rights Defender Kristinne Grigoryan on Friday, March 18 detailed the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) to the UN's Resident Coordinator in Armenia Lila Pieters Yahia.

The Human Rights Defender weighed in on the interruption of gas supplies to Artsakh for more than a week and Azerbaijan's obstruction of the restoration of the outage, as a result of which over 100,000 people were deprived of heating in cold weather conditions.

Grigoryan also presented the situation in the border villages of Artsakh, the acts of intimidation by the Azerbaijani armed forces against the population of the village of Khramort and a number of other settlement, accompanied by intense shootings, which have unfortunately resulted in injuries among civilians.

100,000 residents in Karabakh have been deprived of gas for over a week now, and because the pipeline has been damaged in territories currently under Baku's control, the Azerbaijani military won't allow the Armenian side to eliminate the problem.

The Azerbaijan armed forces have also been violating the ceasefire and using loudspeakers to spread panic among the population of Nagorno-Karabakh, attempting to force them to leave their homes.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
