German Die Zeit commented on the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh imposed by Azerbaijan.
The article states that Nagorno-Karabakh is now detached from the world, deprived of food and medicine, with patients going to hospital on foot.

“Whoever you talk to about the current situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, you hear scary words from the 20th century such as genocide and ethnic cleansing. This nation connects their sufferings with 1915, when the Ottoman Empire killed more than one million Armenians.”

The author mentions that 120 000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh are being starved right now.

“Armenians are afraid that the history will repeat itself and they speak out about it. But it also shows what it means for them to live under the dictatorship of Azerbaijan. And it seems that fears of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh are justified. The whole world now sees what a disaster it will be if they are under the power of Azerbaijan”, the article says.
