Since mid-December, 120,000 people in Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh have been under blockade. The only land connection between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh, the Lachin Corridor, was blocked by Azerbaijan. The blockade’s impacts have reverberated widely, impacting access to food, medicine, gas, electricity, the internet and more.
The Promise Institute holds a conversation about the ongoing situation on the ground, the relevant international legal framework, and what might happen moving forward.
