It is the 247th day that the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh
are under blockade, and two months (as of June 15) that the latter have been
deprived of any kind of humanitarian aid, including basic necessities and food.
The Human Rights Defender records that the blockade of the
Lachin corridor by Azerbaijan has resulted in the gross violation of the
fundamental rights of the residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, including the rights
to life, dignity, physical and mental health and healthcare, freedom of
movement, food and an adequate standard of living, housing, and other
socio-economic and cultural rights. The blockade has a particular adverse
impact on the rights of representatives of vulnerable groups, such as children,
women, persons with disabilities, etc. In particular, 9000 persons with
disabilities, 20,000 older persons, and 60,000 women are under the blockade.The
humanitarian disaster caused by the blockade is manifested in all spheres of
the normal life of residents.
