UN Urged to Address Azerbaijan's Blockade of Road to Nagorno-Karabakh

The UN Security Council has scheduled an emergency meeting in response to Armenia's call for assistance regarding the blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia. Armenia claims that the blockade has resulted in severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel, leading to a humanitarian catastrophe for the region's mainly Armenian population. Azerbaijan is accused of violating the Russian-brokered armistice and international humanitarian law, with allegations of preparing genocide against ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. The meeting aims to address the dire situation and prevent mass atrocities.
