Armenia's Defense Ministry has rejected as "untrue" an accusation from Caucasus archfoe Azerbaijan that Yerevan is transporting military equipment to the Nagorno-Karabakh region via ground routes bypassing the Lachin Corridor at the heart of a monthslong blockade widely blamed on Baku. Azerbaijani defense authorities repeated their accusation on March 11. Lachin has been sealed off from Armenia since mid-December by Azerbaijani protesters, who are thought to be acting on behalf of Azerbaijan's government. In 2020, Baku retook much of the territory in and around Nagorno-Karabakh held for decades by ethnic Armenians. Russian peacekeepers have patrolled the area since November 2020.
