DW: Azerbaijan sets up checkpoint on vital road to Armenia 

The Lachin Corridor is the only route connecting Armenia to the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. 

Baku said it was responding to a similar move by Armenia. Azerbaijan has set up a checkpoint on the only road connecting Armenia to the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region for the first time since the 2020 war.

In a statement on Sunday, the state border service said that a border checkpoint was set up at the entrance of the road. It said the decision was in response to a similar move by Armenia. 

The border service added that the checkpoint was to "prevent the illegal transportation of manpower, weapons, mines." 

This is the first time Azerbaijan has taken such a step since the end of a 2020 war with Armenia over the contested region. As per the cease-fire which ended the war, Baku is required to guarantee safe passage on the Lachin Corridor.
