Thousands rally in Nagorno-Karabakh to protest blockade of Lachin corridor

Description

Thousands rally in Stepanakert, the biggest city in - and capital of - the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, to protest the blockade of the only land link to Armenia. For almost two weeks, Azerbaijani activists have blocked the Lachin corridor in protest over what they claim is illegal mining in the area, but Yerevan has accused Baku of staging demonstrations and creating a humanitarian crisis in the mountainous enclave. Armenia and Azerbaijan, both ex-Soviet states, have fought brutal wars over the Karabakh region in recent decades. IMAGES
