MFA: Pashinyan disseminating allegations about “blockade", by turning blind eye to “Aghdam-Khankandi” route is attempt of manipulation of public opinion

"The refusal by the Armenian side of the initiative and proposal by the Azerbaijani side to use the “Aghdam-Khankandi” road to meet the needs of the Armenian residents of Karabakh region that were positively met by the international actors, including the European Council President Charles Michel, demonstrates that allegations about “grave humanitarian situation” in the region do not reflect the reality," Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan notes in its commentary on allegations made by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan within the interview to Le Monde, APA reports.

It was noted that this is also an indication of Armenia’s intention of misuse of the current situation as political blackmail. Armenia pursues the continuation of illegal activities in the territory of Azerbaijan.

Dissemination by the Armenian Prime Minister of allegations about the “blockade,” while turning a blind eye to the activities of the International Red Cross Committee in the region, passage of dozens of Armenian residents through the checkpoint in both directions on a daily basis, and initiation by Azerbaijan about using alternative routes, including “Aghdam-Khankandi” road, is an attempt of manipulation of international public opinion.
