Senator Menendez remarks on hardship facing Artsakh in Azerbaijani blockade

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez says in floor remarks about a continuing blockade of Artsakh by the government of Azerbaijan that the only lifeline, a single road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia for essential supplies, has remained blocked by Azerbaijan since December 2022, despite recent reports to the contrary, the cruel blockade, which the Azerbaijani government now fully embraces, was depriving the Armenian community of vital necessities like food, fuel, and medicine, effectively aiming to starve them into submission or death, a tactic referred to as the invisible genocide weapon by former International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo, who warns that without swift intervention, the group of over 100,000 Armenians could be annihilated in a matter of weeks.
