Let’s remember that the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh has been going on for almost 2 months. Azerbaijan blocked the Lachin corridor, which connected Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, due to which the republic practically does not receive basic necessities, medicines and food.
Nagorno-Karabakh lost power due to an accident on the section controlled by Azerbaijan, the only high-voltage line. In addition, the Azerbaijani side constantly blocks the only gas pipeline, as a result of which the republic is forced to rely on the gas reserves left in the interior. State institutions have already switched to a special mode of operation to save money. Gardens, schools and universities stopped their work.
