Karabakh Armenians: agreement reached on humanitarian convoy from Armenia

The ethnic Armenian leadership of breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh said on Friday that agreement had been reached for a humanitarian convoy to come from Armenia. Still, he said, there was no large-scale movement of people as the region was effectively under siege.

The ethnic Armenian leadership of breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh said on Friday that agreement had been reached for a humanitarian convoy to come from Armenia. David Babayan, an adviser to Samvel Shahramanyan, the president of the self-styled Republic of Artsakh, said there were no concrete results, however, on security guarantees that Karabakh Armenians are seeking as a condition for giving up their weapons to Azerbaijan, or on a possible amnesty that Baku is proposing.

Babayan told Reuters that the situation in Karabakh was tough. People were hungry and living with no electricity or fuel. Still, he said, there was no large-scale movement of people as the region was effectively under siege.
