Azerbaijan prevents the start of repair of the gas pipeline from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh. Negotiations are underway with the mediation of Russian peacekeepers, the government of Nagorno-Karabakh reports.

On the night of March 8, an accident occurred at the section of the Shushi-Zariflu gas pipeline, and the gas supply to Nagorno-Karabakh was cut off.

The entire territory of Artsakh is deprived of gas supply as a result of the damage to the main gas pipeline from Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh Ombudsperson Gegam Stepanyan reports on Facebook.
