At the same time, Mr. Pashinyan stated that due to the “illegal blockade of the Lachin corridor”, Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh have been “under siege” for five months and are experiencing a humanitarian crisis. He stressed that the top priority now is to send an international mission to the Lachin corridor and Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as start negotiations between Baku and Stepanakert (the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh).
