Azerbaijan once again cuts off gas deliveries to Karabakh — news agency

Russia –
Artsakhgas company urged citizens to strictly follow safety rules

YEREVAN, March 11. /TASS/. Azerbaijan halted gas supply through the only gas pipeline running from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh on Friday, the Armenpress news agency reported, citing the Artsakhgaz gas company.

"On March 10, the Azerbaijani side one again cut off gas deliveries from Armenia to Karabakh. Artsakhgaz is requesting consumers to strictly follow security rules," the news agency said in its report.

Gas deliveries to the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic are being blocked regularly. The move, combined with the ongoing three-month-long blockade of the Lachin Corridor highway linking Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, brought the Armenian-speaking population of the enclave to the verge of a humanitarian disaster. According to Yerevan, Azerbaijan has been creating intolerable conditions for the region’s 120,000 inhabitants, with the goal of conducting an ethnic cleansing in the area.

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
