Protesters Cause Traffic Chaos by Blocking 134 Freeway in Glendale

Several hundred protesters blocked one side of the 134 Freeway in Glendale to draw attention to the crisis in Artsakh, a landlocked republic with a large Armenian population. The protesters called for support from Rep. Adam Schiff, who has expressed support for ending the blockade but has faced criticism from some Armenian protesters for not doing enough. The protesters also gathered at Schiff's local office. The blockade by Azerbaijan has cut off the only overland connector to Armenia, and the protesters are calling for action from the Biden Administration, including humanitarian aid to Artsakh and sanctions on those responsible for the crisis.

Prospects for Peace in the South Caucasus

Despite intensive negotiations and Armenia's recognition of Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani authorities are openly preparing for another large-scale military strike against Artsakh. President Aliyev issued an ultimatum to Artsakh Armenians, demanding they disband all state institutions, forget about any status, and accept Azerbaijani citizenship. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense resumed its usual tactics of accusations against Armenians, issuing statements about shootings toward positions of the Azerbaijani army. The situation around Artsakh has reached its culmination, and the stage is set for a new large-scale escalation in Artsakh.
