Armenian chess grandmaster Levon Aronian issued a statement asking everyone in their power to help Armenians amid the Azeri blockade of Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh), Armenpress reports.
Armenia had devastating losses during the 44 day war in 2020. The peace agreement signed between Armenia ,Azerbaijan and Russia specified that the road will remain open and will serve all countries in the region. Right now the Russian peacekeeping forces are being taunted by Azerbaijani “ecology activist” that block the road under different false premises.
I urge everyone in their power to help my homeland by spreading the message and finding ways to help the people in a great need,” Aronian said in the statement.
