Azerbaijan periodically cuts off the supply of gas, which reaches Artsakh from Armenia, but passes through the territory controlled by the Azerbaijani side. There is also a shortage of electricity in the republic due to the fact that the Azerbaijani side does not give the opportunity to repair the high-voltage line, on which an accident occurred in early January. A section of the power transmission line, which also runs through Azerbaijani-controlled territory, was damaged.
