Nothing concrete has yet been determined regarding the unblocking of transport corridors to Nagorno-Karabakh, Russia's TASS news agency quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying on Thursday. Ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh want security guarantees before giving up their weapons, an adviser to their leader said on Thursday, a day after Azerbaijan routed the breakaway region's defence forces.
Azerbaijan has for nine months effectively blocked the access road from Armenia that Karabakh had relied on for three decades to maintain its de facto autonomy. Meanwhile, the Karabakh Armenians refused to open the other main access road to their mountain enclave, leading from the Azerbaijani town of Aghdam.
Russia maintains a contingent of peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh.
