Protesters who have blocked the road leading from Armenia to an ethnic Armenian region within Azerbaijan for four months say they will end their actions because Azerbaijan has established a checkpoint at the start of the road. The blockage of the so-called Lachin Corridor impeded food supplies to the region and aggravated tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The road leads from the Armenian border to Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a six-week war in 2020. The protesters blocking the road met with Azeri officials on Friday. The demonstrators later released a statement saying they would suspend the protest.
