The blockade is causing a humanitarian disaster due to the shortage of essential goods for tens of thousands of Armenians.

Redmond Shannon explains what the dispute surrounding the “Road of Life,” how the conflict could be resolved and why Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan now regrets leaning on Russia for help.

“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
