The Stepanakert-Shushi interstate road remains closed for already 6 hours. Violating international humanitarian laws, Azerbaijan is trying to create a humanitarian disaster in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), the Artsakh police said in a statement.
“Hundreds of citizens, including children, are stranded on the road. Some of them returned to Goris, while those who’ve been waiting for many hours in the Stepanakert-Shushi zone have been transported to Stepanakert accompanied by police officers.
The transportation of medical items, medication and severely-ill patients to Artsakh has become impossible. Negotiations currently continue. Additional information will be provided on developments of the situation,” police said.
