Understanding the situation in Karabakh in the fourth week of what amounts to an effective blockade<\/a> is increasingly difficult. Some social media accounts allege starvation is already upon the population while others say there are no problems at all. In reality, neither is correct and even though defacto State Minister Ruben Vardanyan says that the region, situated within Azerbaijan with only the narrow 5 km-wide Lachin corridor to connect it to Armenia, is able to last longer than the three weeks it already has even with imported product shortages.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, however, and as the alleged environmental protest by Azerbaijani activists<\/a>, presumably with the support of Baku, effectively blocking most road transportation other than that consisting of Russian peacekeeping or International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) vehicles, one young Karabakh Armenian is updating her followers \u00a0on TikTok about life under siege. Her updates are down to earth and genuine, lending credence to the stereotype of Karabakh Armenians as being sturdy and resilient. Basically, life goes on.<\/p>\n

Follow her here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
