 A new Azerbaijani checkpoint blocking access to an Armenian-held breakaway region is located right next to a base of Russian peacekeepers who are meant to be keeping the road open, footage filmed by Radio Free Europe slash Radio Liberty on April 23 showed. Azerbaijan said on Sunday it had installed a checkpoint on the Lakhinkorador, the only road connecting Armenia with Karaba, where 120,000 mostly Armenian inhabitants broke away from Azerbaijan in the 1990s. The corridor has been mostly closed since December, when Azerbaijani civilians identifying themselves as environmental activists blockaded the road. Russian peacekeepers who under the ceasefire agreement which ended a 2020 war for the territory are required to keep the corridor open have not intervened, angering Armenians. Azerbaijan said on Sunday it had taken appropriate measures to establish control at the starting point of the road.
