Azerbaijan announces a new border checkpoint at the only land link between Armenia and Karabakh “to prevent the illegal transportation of manpower, weapons and mines”
Azerbaijan's foreign ministry says the Lachin corridor between Armenia and Karabakh has been used by Yerevan for the"illegal transportation of manpower, weapons, mines".
Sunday's checkpoint is the first set up by Azerbaijan since the latest war ended in 2020 with a Russian-brokered ceasefire. Armenia’s defence ministry said Sunday that one of its soldiers was killed by an Azerbaijani sniper near the border, but Azerbaijan denied the claim and separately reported that its soldiers had come under fire from Armenia in another part of the border area.Under the ceasefire that ended the 2020 conflict, Azerbaijan is required to guarantee safe passage on the Lachin corridor, which is patrolled by Russian peacekeepers.
