Freedom House, an international human rights organization, responded to the humanitarian situation in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). “Azerbaijan must prevent a humanitarian crisis by restoring unhindered gas supplies to the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, who have endured weeks of freezing temps without heat and hot water,” the organization's official Twitter account said.
Attached to the post was a statement by EU foreign policy Chief Peter Stano, in which the EU expressed concern over the disruption of gas supplies to Stepanakert.
The European Union stressed the need for immediate gas supply to the people of Artsakh, especially in severe weather conditions, and called on the Azerbaijani side to support the process.
