In Goris I am seeing EU observers preparing for a mission, an ICRC car returning from one, an Unicef office in the backround, simultaneously as I speak to Marut Vanyan on the phone.

I watch them all work while Marut says he hasn't found new food for days. #Caucasus #Artsakh #NagornoKarabakh #NagornyKarabakh #ethniccleasing #war ? And the United States does ... what exactly? Express "deep concern"?

Nagorno-Karabakh’s Parliament has elected Samvel Shahramanyan as the region’s new president. Officials have expressed hope that he will be able to achieve a ‘breakthrough’ in the region’s negotiations with #Azerbaijan, which has held Nagorno-Karabakh under blockade for over nine months.

"La crise humanitaire qui frappe les #Arméniens dans l’enclave disputée s’est brusquement aggravée cet été depuis que Bakou en a bloqué totalement l’accès. L’ancien procureur de la Cour pénale internationale Luis Moreno Ocampo dénonce un « #génocide en cours »."

The Biden administration's policy in this part of the former Soviet Union has, in contrast to Ukraine, been a near-complete disaster. Its ineffective calls to open the corridor have been answered by #Azerbaijan's open contempt of whatever the US says. #NagornoKarabakh

I remain seriously concerned about the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and I reiterate my calI to restore free movement along the #LachinCorridor and ensure the rapid and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance in #NagornoKarabakh.👇

"An informational vacuum is the oxygen that false narratives need to thrive and spread. Azerbaijan knows this all too well. The country has exploited this dearth in information from the ground, deploying all of its media, legal, and political resources to deny and obscure the events currently taking place in Nagorno-Karabakh."

An Azerbaijani media report suggests that #Armenia likely has the votes of 🇧🇷, 🇨🇳, 🇫🇷, 🇯🇵, 🇲🇹,🇨🇭, 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 for a resolution on the siege of #NagornoKarabakh: 1 short of the necessary 9 votes. The report counts on 🇷🇺 not voting in favor (prob. abstaining):
