Azerbaijan restored gas supply to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) without any preconditions after cutting it off on December 13, the Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan said.
“I have good news. The neighboring state restored our gas supply without any precondition, without any concessions. This is truly our victory because we are strong, we showed that we are not going to leave Artsakh and we are not going to panic,” Vardanyan said.
Azerbaijan shut down gas supply to Nagorno-Karabakh a day after blocking Lachin Corridor, Nagorno-Karabakh's only road link with Armenia and the rest of the world.
The Lachin Corridor could open today, Vardanyan said, speaking live on Facebook.
“It’s their [Azerbaijan’s] decision. They have made the decision, because they have realized the mistake, because they were under huge pressure both locally and from abroad,” Vardanyan said.
He expressed gratitude to all people abroad who helped exert that pressure, to all who raised awareness about the situation worldwide.
