Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged Azerbaijan on Tuesday to open a key corridor that links the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, following urgent appeals from Yerevan.
“Particular emphasis was placed on the need for the practical implementation of steps previously agreed in principle, aimed at the speedy de-escalation of the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh, including the unblocking of humanitarian routes, including the Lachin corridor,” Russia’s foreign ministry said following a telephone call between Lavrov and Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov.
