Azerbaijan's month-long blockage of the Lachin corridor is creating a humanitarian crisis within Nagorno-Karabakh as vital supplies dwindle. We call again for Azerbaijan to immediately end the blockage.

We call on the international community to support the lifting of the blockade and a return to negotiations without coercion. The rights, security, and well-being of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh must be ensured.
