On February 10, Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan had a phone conversation with Brice Roquefeuil, the Co-Chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group of France.

During the phone conversation, the perspectives of establishing security and stability in the region and the efforts made by Armenia and the international community in this direction were discussed.

Since December 12, the sole road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia - the Lachin Corridor - has been blocked by self-described Azerbaijani environmentalists. Karabakh residents have reported food and fuel shortages, while hospital patients don't have access to essential medicines, with only a handful allowed transfer to facilities in Armenia proper.
