MFA: Refusal of Armenian side to use Aghdam-Khankendi road is regrettable
Baku, July 25, AZERTAC
“Moreover, assistance was offered by Azerbaijan for transportation and delivery of larger quantities of medicine and cargo using the "Aghdam-Khankendi" road. Unfortunately, however, the Armenian side adamantly refuses this offer,” said Azerbaijan`s Foreign Ministry as it commented on the July 25 statement of the International Committee of the Red Cross regarding the humanitarian situation in the region.
“Furthermore, the visit of the ICRC medical personnel to the area to further assist in the passage of Armenian residents through the border checkpoint with the facilitation of ICRC was also regrettably refused on-site despite the previous agreements.
The opposition of the Armenian side to the steps taken by Azerbaijan, as well as its intention to assist, including the proposals to use the "Aghdam-Khankendi" and other alternative roads as mentioned in the ICRC statement, once again proves that the claims of "tense humanitarian situation" in the region are a means of political manipulation and pressure,” the ministry added.
