At the points of delivery of coupons for products in Nagorno -Karabakh, lines began to form. The work of points is complicated by fan shutdown of light. This was reported by the publication "Caucasian Knot".
Starting January 18, the process of issuing coupons for the purchase of products in stores began in Nagorno Karabakh. 19 points are opened in Stepanakert. Also, the issues of issuance were opened in other cities of the region, the inforostan of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic said.
Food cards are issued for a period of one month - from January 20 to February 20. Near the points of issuing coupons there are large lines, but people consider the introduction of the card system true, local residents surveyed by the Caucasian Knot correspondent told.
“ In order for everyone to get primary necessity. Yes, it is difficult to stand in lines, but the situation is dictated, we will break through somehow ,” the word of the resident of Stepanakert Venus Dadasyan reports. There are two people in the Dadasyan family, and the woman believes that they should have enough products purchased by food coupons.
In the inforostation, due to fan disconnects due to damage to the only power line of Goris-Stepanakert, certain points of delivery of coupons during the period of disconnecting light do not work. Residents of Nagorno -Karabakh will be able to buy products on coupons from January 20.
The fact that due to a lack of food in Nagorno-Karabakh, local de facto authorities introduce a coupon system into a number of products, it became known on January 10.
Also in the unrecognized republic there are interruptions in gas supply , and due to a break in the power line, which, like the gas pipeline, pass through the territory of Azerbaijan, the lack of electricity began. Fan ships of light began.
Since December 12, the road to Nagorny Karabakh has been blocked by a group of Azerbaijanis, who called themselves eco-activists. Together with the official authorities, Baku require an inspection for a gold mining enterprise in the territory of Karabakh controlled by Armenians. “Eco-activists” and the authorities believe that illegal gold mining is being carried out there, which is then exported to Armenia and which harms the environment. Baku accuses Russian peacekeepers of promoting activities on the mine.
The license for gold mining on mines in Nagorno -Karabakh, Baku handed over to the British company Anglo Asian Mining, which, as the journalists previously found out, is connected by the Azerbaijani authorities.
In Azerbaijan itself, any protest protests are harshly suppressed, and the “eco-activists” protesting in Karabakh are represented by former military, employees of state institutions and various NGOs who receive funding from the Azerbaijani authorities. Also in Karabakh you can not come without the permission of the authorities. Protesters are brought on special buses and provided with food, tents and even a huge television screen. All this suggests that the action is planned and supported by the authorities of Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijani authorities deny the presence of a blockade, since the “protesters” do not interfere with the passage of cars that carry the supply of Russian peacekeepers, international Red Cross cars, as well as ambulances that take seriously ill people.
A number of experts believe that Azerbaijan conducts a "hybrid operation" in Karabakh in order to take control and force the population to leave their homes.
In favor of this version, one of Aliyev’s recent statements speaks. “Who does not want to be our citizens: the road is not closed, it is open. They can go - either themselves, or under the vehicles of the cars of Russian peacekeepers or by buses. The road is open,” he said.
