YEREVAN, APRIL 29, ARMENPRESS. From April 28, from around 21:00 to April 29, around 11:10, the Azerbaijani security forces blocked the movement of vehicles of the Russian peacekeeping troops delivering humanitarian cargo from Armenia to Artsakh near Shushi, stopping them on the road for about 14 hours.

As ARMENPRESS was informed by Artsakh's information headquarters, a little while ago, as a result of negotiations between the command of the peacekeeping troops and the Azerbaijani side, the movement of vehicles was allowed and they moved to Stepanakert. The trucks contained mainly food and household items, which were loaded in the prescribed manner in the city of Goris of the Republic of Armenia in order to meet the basic needs of the people of Artsakh under siege.

"Actually, the blockade of Artsakh continues at two points: the checkpoint installed near the Hakari bridge on April 23 and near Shushi, with the section blocked since December 12, 2022, where yesterday the agents in civilian clothes of the government of Azerbaijan were already openly replaced by the employees of the law enforcement agencies.

This proves that Azerbaijan is deepening the blockade of the people of Artsakh and worsening the security and humanitarian situation day by day, despite its obligations assumed by the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020 and other international documents, as well as the decision of the International Court of Justice of the United Nations and numerous calls of the international community," Artsakh's information headquarters said.
