Artsakh Under Blockade: Day 72
A Conversation with Suren Sargsyan
"Pashinyan’s participation in Munich Security Conference didn’t give anything to Armenia" - Suren Sargsyan

Hello, today is day 72 of the total blockade of Artsakh. For 72 days, the 120K citizens of Artsakh have not had the ability to enter or exit their country. They are deprived of the ability to visit Armenia or to receive guests from Armenia. With very limited supplies, they are forced to ration food with the help of food stamps in order to survive. Children are deprived of the right of education, since the schools can’t be properly heated due to Azerbaijan also disrupting gas supplies from Armenia.
Today, we’ll talk about the blockade in Artsakh and related issues, including the Munich Security Conference that took place over the weekend as well as talking about the past and the future of the OSCE Minsk Group.
This interview is a continuation of the collaboration between Groong and 168 Hours aiming to bring you more English-language coverage on the developments of this very serious humanitarian crisis in progress.
Guests:
Our guest today is Suren Sargsyan, founder and a President at the Armenian Center for American Studies, a research center based in Yerevan.
