Edmon Marukyan, Ambassador-at-Large of Armenia, responded to Aliyev's aide Hikmet Hajiyev's statement about the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh on his X (former Twitter) page.
"During an interview with Arab News, Aliyev's assistant Hikmet Hajiyev said that the Lachin corridor is not blocked and there is no blockade in Nagorno Karabakh. By this, Azerbaijan wants to deceive the international community about the fact that the Lachin Corridor is illegally blocked, which has been confirmed by such renowned international organizations as HRW (Human Rights Watch), the UN Security Council and confirmed by the interim decisions of the CIJ/ICJ UN International Court of Justice that the corridor is blocked and the people are starving.
After all, if the Lachin Corridor is not blocked and there is no siege and hunger in Nagorno Karabakh, as Aliyev's aide claims, then why did Azerbaijan send that mysterious humanitarian aid to Aghdam?"
