Uncertainty Looms as Truck Stalls on Road to Azerbaijan Breakaway Region

A truck carrying aid to Azerbaijan's breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region was left idling by a road, despite a deal announced by both the government and ethnic Armenian separatists to open the route for the first time in decades. The agreement, which would have allowed a Russian shipment of aid to cross into Nagorno-Karabakh, remains unclear as neither side has offered a full public explanation. Azerbaijan has imposed a blockade on the region, and tensions have escalated in recent days. Armenia's relations with Russia have deteriorated, with Yerevan accusing Moscow of failing to restore transport links to the territory.
