Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the midfielder of Inter Milan, former player and captain of the Armenian national football squad, and UNICEF Armenia Ambassador, went on social media and drew the attention of the international community to Azerbaijan’s blocking of the Lachin Corridor, the only motorway between Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
“The 120,000 residents of the [Artsakh] Republic, including 30,000 children, have found themselves in complete blockade. (…). A physical blockade of Nagorno Karabakh is tantamount to sentencing its people to a slow death,” Mkhitaryan wrote, in particular.
