CivilNet: A new road connecting Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh

The Lachin corridor is the only connection between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Before the Second Karabakh War, three main roads connected Armenia and Karabakh. But, one in the south, running along the Iranian border, was lost after an Azerbaijani military offensive. The second was handed over to Azerbaijan in line with the November 9, 2020 agreement. In the end-of-war agreement, Armenia also agreed to eventually hand over the Lachin corridor to Azerbaijan. Now, a second alternative route is being constructed. However, what do local residents think of all this? Will this benefit the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh? And, what will happen to the Armenians currently living in communities within the Lachin corridor.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
