As a result of Azerbaijan’s closing off of the only road connecting Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to Armenia, Mets Shen, Hin Shen, Yegtsahogh, and Lisagor villages of the Shushi Region are blocked at present. Armenian News-NEWS.am has learned about this from Artsakh Information Center.
“Lack of communication with [Artsakh capital] Stepanakert and other settlements of the [Artsakh] republic may cause a humanitarian crisis in those settlements. Due to the closure of the road, the supply of food—in particular, bread and flour—as well as of other essential goods to the given settlements is not carried out from Artsakh. The administration of the Shushi Region (…) maintains contact with the [aforesaid] communities, and all possible actions are taken to meet the urgent needs of these communities,” the Artsakh Information Center added in its message.
