At the same time, Armen Grigoryan referred to the establishment of a checkpoint by Azerbaijan on April 23, 2023, in the area of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping mission in the Lachin Corridor, stressing that it is a gross violation of the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020, by which Azerbaijan seeks to subject the population of Nagorno Karabakh to ethnic cleansing.
