Revision as of 09:43, 3 December 2020
The Lachin corridor (Armenian: Լաչինի միջանցք, romanized: Lachini mijantsk; Azerbaijani: Laçın koridoru, Laçın Dəhlizi) is a mountain pass [citation needed] connecting Armenia and the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.[1] The corridor is de jure in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan, but de facto in the Kashatagh Province of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. It contains the town of Lachin and the villages of Zabux and Sus.
During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War from 1988 to 1994, the corridor came under the control of the Artsakh Defence Army. In a statement to the United Nations on 18 September 2005, the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Elmar Mammadyarov, said "It is the issue of communication of the Armenians living in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan with Armenia and that of the Azerbaijanis living in the Nakhchivan region of Azerbaijan with the rest of the country. We suggest the using of the so-called Lachin corridor – which should be called "Road of Peace" – by both sides in both directions provided that security of this road will be ensured by the multinational peacekeeping forces at the initial stage".[2]
In the aftermath of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, which ended with a Russian-brokered armistice, the Lachin corridor became the sole connection between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. To ensure the safe transport of people and goods, under the armistice, Russian peacekeepers will be deployed to the corridor for an initial 5-year mandate.
