Nikol Pashinyan
Baku /11.08.23/Turan: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made a number of statements today, accusing Azerbaijan of the policy of "genocide" against the Armenians of Karabakh.
Speaking at a government meeting, he said that Baku is unreasonably blocking the Lachin corridor and does not allow trucks with 361 tons of food and medicines to Karabakh.
"There are increasingly loud opinions from international expert circles that Azerbaijan's policy can be viewed from the point of view of the UN Convention on the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide," he said. He called on the international community to make more efforts to force Azerbaijan to lift the "blockade". At the same time, Pashinyan called on Baku to "refrain from steps that could negate the historical possibility of establishing peace." -0-
