UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls for the fighting to “stop immediately”. Furthermore, he demands that Azerbaijan respect the ceasefire that was concluded in 2020, according to AFP. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, asks Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev to stop the military actions immediately. Established humanitarian corridors On Tuesday, Azerbaijan launched extensive attacks against the mainly Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. Explosions could be heard in and around the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, Stepanakert, on Tuesday. Azerbaijani authorities say they have established humanitarian corridors both on the Lachin road and on another road for those wishing to leave Nagorno-Karabakh. Nagorno-Karabakh is formally part of Azerbaijan, but in practice has been self-governing and closely linked to Armenia after a bloody war in the early 1990s. That time, the better organized Armenian forces prevailed. In 2020, Azerbaijan recaptured large areas.
