Ruben Vardanyan
Lachin road - Day 9. Vardanyan admitted that he refuses to drive on the road while the Azerbaijanis are there
Baku/20.12.22/Turan: On Tuesday, Ruben Vardanyan, who calls himself the “Minister of State” of Karabakh, admitted that Armenians refuse to travel along the Lachin road while Azerbaijanis are standing there. In his Facebook address, he stated: “The blockade continues. Although you know that there are rumors that the road is open, but it is not. They're on the side of the road, they can stop cars whenever they want. That's why we say it's unacceptable. Azerbaijanis must leave completely.” He also referred to the opinion of the Armenians, who support his position.
Thus, Vardanyan admits that the Armenians in Karabakh are not blocked, but they do not want any checks from the Azerbaijanis. It should be noted that peacekeepers' cars continue to travel freely in both directions.
As for the action sites in Shusha, they continue to stand on the road, declaring that they will not let military supplies and products from the mines in Karabakh, illegally developed by the separatists, pass. --02D--
