Russia expects that the Lachin corridor will be reopened soon

Moscow, Dec 21 (Prensa Latina) Russia expects that traffic in the Lachin corridor that connects Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia will restart soon, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.

According to the entity, in recent days Moscow has been doing everything possible to solve the situation, in particular, maintaining permanent contact with partners of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

As a result, gas supply to Nagorno-Karabakh was resumed so as partial circulation in the corridor, while parameters for Azerbaijani environmental experts to visit the mineral deposits in the enclave are being agreed upon.

On December 12th, the media reported that Azerbaijani activists and journalists opposed to the exploitation of mineral deposits in Nagorno-Karabakh and blocked the road between the cities of Shusha and Stepanakert.

In turn, the Armenian ambassador for special missions, Edmon Marukian, declared that Azerbaijani citizens, who claim to be environmentalists, blocked the only connection between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, depriving the region of supplies.

Nagorno-Karabakh, has majority Armenian population, but is located in the territory of Azerbaijan, and has been the focus of a long-standing conflict between Baku and Yerevan, since the enclave decided to separate in 1988, from what was then the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.
