- For nine months, starting in December 2022, Azerbaijan imposed a strangulating blockade of the Lachin Corridor connecting the Republic of Artsakh to Armenia.
- This strategic artery was Artsakh’s only access to food, supplies and basic medical needs.
- Once Azeri forces severed the corridor, Artsakh’s 120,000 residents were subjected to tremendous deprivation, with some perishing from starvation.
