Freedom House urges Azerbaijan to restore gas supplies to Artsakh

U.S. democracy watchdog group Freedom House urged Azerbaijan to restore gas supplies to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to prevent humanitarian crisis.

“Azerbaijan must prevent a humanitarian crisis by restoring unhindered gas supplies to the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, who have endured weeks of freezing temps without heat or hot water,” it said in a tweet on Thursday.

Earlier on Wednesday, EU foreign affairs spokesman Peter Stano stressed the urgent need for the immediate resumption of the gas supply to the Artsakh population.
