Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: supermarket shelves empty as food shortages hit” – below is their description.
A resident of Nagorno-Karabakh filmed completely empty supermarket as reports show it has been harder to access food, medicines and other essential supplies as an Azerbaijani blockade of the breakaway region drags into its ninth month.
Karabakh is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but its population of 120,000 is overwhelmingly ethnic Armenian and the enclave’s one remaining land link to Armenia, the Lachin corridor policed by Russian peacekeepers, was first disrupted in December. The agreement required Russia to ensure that road transport between Armenia and Karabakh remained open.
Since the ceasefire, road links between Armenia and Karabakh hinged on the Lachin corridor, which was blockaded in December by Azerbaijani civilians identifying themselves as ecological activists. In April, Azerbaijani border guards installed a checkpoint along the route, tightening the blockade
