Nagorno-Karabakh’s State Minister Gurgen Nersisyan referred to the information spread by Azerbaijan yesterday that Armenian citizens pass through the checkpoint they set up without hindrance. He wrote the following on his Facebook page.
“When the process of transporting medical patients to Armeia’s medical facilities through the ICRC Stepanakert office through the Lachin Corridor has barely been restored, and several days of negotiations are being held to organize each transportation, so that a civilian is not kidnapped from a car bearing the ICRC logo, Azerbaijan published information yesterday showing as if Armenia’s citizens pass unhindered through the "checkpoint" installed on the Hagari bridge. Surprisingly, at that moment, the Turkish media also appeared in the same place.
In reality, however, the persons who passed through the “checkpoint” were persons performing civil service in the Russian peacekeeping forces in Artsakh, they were taken to the “checkpoint” by the peacekeeping forces and their vehicles. And before the session of the UN Security Council, Azerbaijan tried to use that incident for the purpose of another staging.
The videos clearly show how the vehicles of the Russian peacekeepers on 14.08.2023 move from their place of deployment in the direction of Lachin Corridor and how people from the place of deployment of peacekeepers cross into the Republic of Armenia at the "checkpoint".
