YEREVAN, JULY 14, ARMENPRESS. The participants of the rally of the “Popular movement” in Artsakh marched to the military station of the Russian peacekeeping troops, where they will present their demand to take measures to stop the blockade of Artsakh and the humanitarian disaster.
The correspondent of ARMENPRESS reports that Artsakh’s State Minister Gurgen Nersisyan said that he, together with some others, will have a meeting with the commander of the Russian peacekeeping troops stationed in Artsakh, after which he will return and present the results of the meeting.
"Our next step is now we are setting up tents here, and everyone in the tents is expecting for our demand to be fulfilled," Nersisyan stated.
He emphasized that they want to tell the Russian peacekeepers that the people of Artsakh are the main beneficiaries of the trilateral declaration of November 9, and when one of the parties to the declaration does not fulfill its responsibilities, it does not mean that the people of Artsakh should bear the heaviest consequences caused by it. "We are here to convey the word of the people of Artsakh to the peacekeepers that it is not friendly at all when Artsakh is under a complete blockade, but we see helicopter flights every day," Nersisyan announced.
After the meeting with the Russian peacekeepers, some of the participants of the gathering, the residents of Askeran, will stay in tents near the military station of the peacekeepers, and the rest will return to Stepanakert's Renaissance Square, where the rally that started in the morning will continue.
