During a joint press conference with Under Secretary of State for Europe of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Leo Docherty Armenia’s Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan presented the issue of the illegal blocking of the Lachin Corridor by Azerbaijan, noting that it has caused serious humanitarian problems in Nagorno-Karabakh and that the blocking is part of Azerbaijan's policy of ethnic cleansing.
“I emphasized the importance of the constructive involvement of the UN member states with the international security mandate, including the UK, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and taking active steps. In this context, I emphasized the imperative of sending an international mission to the Nagorno-Karabakh and Lachin Corridor, ensuring the unimpeded access of international humanitarian organizations.
We value the support of our international partners in solving such a humanitarian issue as ensuring the return of all Armenian prisoners of war by Azerbaijan,” said Mirzoyan.
