Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's congratulatory message on the New Year and Christmas holidays.
🇦🇲 2022 was a year of severe challenges. The illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor has put our brothers and sisters of Nagorno Karabakh, all of us, in a difficult situation. I have already spoken many times about the political assessment of this situation and possible solutions. At this moment, I want to strongly hug our brothers and sisters under siege and tell them that they are the important addressees of the message about changing the quality of relations in the region, and this is an exceptional hour for pondering for all of us.
🔸I love you all, I love our country, our state, and where I make mistakes and stumble, where I fail, it is because of the love that might be excessive, which maybe overshadows intelligence. But in the end, love is more and all-powerful, and we will bring our ship, the Republic of Armenia, to a peaceful harbor in the stormy ocean.

Since December 12, 2022, Azerbaijan has closed the Lachin Corridor connecting Artsakh to Armenia, as a result of which 120,000 residents of Artsakh, including 30,000 children, are under siege. 1100 civilians, including 270 minors, cannot return from Armenia to Artsakh.
Due to the blockade, it is impossible to deliver 400 tons of food and medicine from Armenia to Artsakh every day, resulting in a shortage of food and medicine.
350 patients cannot receive treatment in Armenia. 12 children are in the neonatal and intensive care units, and 12 patients are in the intensive care unit. 5 are in critical condition. These days, 8 Armenians and 4 foreigners in need of emergency medical care were transferred to Armenia only through the mediation of the Red Cross. One of the patients in Artsakh who needed medical care and was in critical condition died.

🇺🇳🇷🇺🇦🇲 First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, responded to the news, according to which, due to Russia's position, the adoption of the statement of the President of the UNSC was defeated as a result of the extraordinary session of the UNSC on December 20 around the Lachin Corridor.
🔸"The process was coordinated by the French at Yerevan's request, and they ignored most of Russia's proposals, but took into account the amendments presented by other members of the UN Security Council. Russia was ready for constructive work, but France resorted to impure methods," he wrote.
🔸 According to Polyansky, the authors of the draft statement of the Security Council at the UN did not mention in the text "the importance of the four joint statements underlying the settlement and the role of Russian peacekeepers."|azatutyun.am|

🇦🇿 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan commented on the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia regarding the Lachin Corridor, stating:
🗣 "We consider Armenia's calls to send any mission to the territory of Azerbaijan as another provocation directed against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country.
📌 The next statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry about the protests on the road to Lachin is absolutely groundless and aims to cause confusion among international partners and artificially aggravate the situation.
