ArmInfo.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Artsakh issued a statement in connection with the termination of gas supply.  As the pres service  of the Artsakh MFA reports, the statement reads, in part:

"In the evening of March 21, the Azerbaijani authorities again  disrupted the gas supply to Artsakh, depriving its population of an  important heating resource in extremely cold weather conditions.   Azerbaijan's behavior is humanitarian terrorism. It grossly violates  the human rights, the norms and principles of international  humanitarian law and does not fit into the norms of morality in any  way.  This heinous act is another demonstration of hatred and  nationalism.  The Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Artsakh  strongly condemns the policy of Azerbaijan and appeals to the  international community with an urgent request to give an adequate  assessment of the situation.  Azerbaijan's misanthropic steps cannot  affect the will and determination of the people of Artsakh. We will  continue to live and create in our historical homeland, develop and  strengthen our independent statehood," they concluded.

It should be noted that late on the evening of March 21, it became  known that the Azerbaijani side had cut off the gas supply to  Artsakh. " As a result of the direct intervention of the Azerbaijani  side, the gas supply to the Artsakh Republic was again disrupted. We  have sufficient grounds to claim that during the repair works of the  gas pipeline exploded on March 8, the Azerbaijani side installed a  valve, through which it disrupted the gas supply hours ago.  

Azerbaijan uses the unfavorable weather conditions to create  additional humanitarian problems for our population and makes a  criminal action.  The command of the Russian peacekeeping force  stationed in Artsakh was immediately informed about the situation,  together with which the Artsakh authorities are making appropriate  efforts to restore gas supply.  At the same time, we urge citizens to  use electricity as sparingly as possible to avoid possible power  outages," the Artsakh Information Headquarters said in a statement.  

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
