Reuters: Nagorno-Karabakh residents say 'disastrous' blockade choking supplies
TBILISI (Reuters) -Residents of Nagorno-Karabakh say it is getting harder to access food, medicines and other essential supplies as an Azerbaijani blockade of the breakaway region drags into its ninth month.
The U.N. Security Council discussed the blockade on Wednesday, after a former International Criminal Court prosecutor this month said the blockade may amount to a "genocide" of the local Armenian population - an assertion that Azerbaijan's lawyers said was unsubstantiated and inaccurate.
Karabakh is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but its population of 120,000 is overwhelmingly ethnic Armenian and the enclave's one remaining land link to Armenia, the Lachin corridor policed by Russian peacekeepers, was first disrupted in December.

If only we could give them more mountains
Not to imply that all Armenians are unbearable, <> I had an Armenian next door neighbor once and it was a very bad experience. Also worked with one and it was the same.
Uh oh, the UN is in an "emergency session"!!! Watch out. Get ready for the most inept political institution in the world to actually, you know, do something. Can't wait LOLOLOLOL
So much for Russian power

some of my best friends are Armenians
My Son in Law is Armenian and is a great husband and Father. Good guy. His dad is also good but his wife is controlling and unbearable. That's one Armenian I could do without.
Even though things are always changing for the Kardashian family in ways they never expected, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan are determined to remember that family always comes first. Although the family members frequently are at odds, between siblings and their relationships, they always support one another in the end, regardless of how many controversies, and there are many. As the family's fame grows, they become more dependent on one another for support through all the highs and lows of being in the limelight.
This bundle of Armenians made our world a much better place after Doris Day retired.
