Azerbaijan Again Disrupts Gas Supply to Artsakh

Azerbaijan has once again disrupted the operation of the only gas pipeline supplying Artsakh from Armenia. The Artsakh Gas Company reports that there is currently no gas supplied to the republic and that the gas available in the pipelines is being used. This information was provided by the Artsakh Gas Company.

It should be noted that on the morning of December 12, a group of Azerbaijanis in civilian clothing closed the Stepanakert-Goris highway connecting Artsakh to Armenia under the pretext of environmental reasons in the area of the Shushi-Karin Tak intersection. On December 13, the Azerbaijani side also disconnected the gas supply to Artsakh. The gas supply was restored on the morning of December 16. However, it was interrupted again and subsequently restored shortly on January 17.

Since January 9, the energy supply from Armenia to Artsakh has also been disconnected from the territory under Azerbaijani control. The Azerbaijani side has not allowed specialists to approach and understand the reasons for these disruptions, which is necessary for emergency recovery work if needed. Electricity supply in Artsakh is being implemented through scheduled outages.

The Lachin corridor remains closed.
