Pashinyan: Peace possibly only if "civilized world" actively supports processJuly 25, 2023 - 13:32 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has declared that lasting peace in the South Caucasus is possible, but only with active support of the "civilized world". "The international community should undertake bold steps to stop the Sarajevo-style siege of Nagorno-Karabakh," Pashinyan said on Twitter on Tuesday, July 25. Nagorno-Karabakh has been under Azerbaijan's blockade since December 12, 2022. Baku tightened the blockade on June 15, 2023, banning emergency relief supplies that were carried out by Russian peacekeepers and the International Committee of the Red Cross through the sole road connecting Karabakh to Armenia and the outside world. The move aggravated the shortages of food, medicine and other essential items experienced by the region’s population.
