Despite the fact that the Azerbaijani side put forward a number of proposals, including the use of the “Aghdam-Khankandi” road and other alternative routes, to meet the needs of the Armenian residents, that were supported by the European Union and the ICRC, opposition by Armenian side to all the proposals, blockage of access to the territory by placing concrete barriers on alternative roads, demonstrates that Armenian claims about the humanitarian situation are nothing than political blackmail and manipulation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Republic of Azerbaijan notes in its statement issued on the latest situation in the region, APA reports.

"The aim of Armenia is to bring third parties to the region, expand the geography of tensions, as well as to lead the peace process to a failure point," the MFA said.
