During blockade, economy of Nagorno-Karabakh damaged by around $409 million

According to Nagorno-Karabakh Government bulletin: 215th day of blockade:

  • About 1,610 citizens have been deprived of the opportunity to receive necessary medical treatment due to the suspension of planned surgeries in all medical facilities of Nagorno-Karabakh increasing by about 30 cases in the last 3 days.
  • As of today, 609 patients have been transferred from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia to receive appropriate medical care with the mediation and accompaniment of the International Committee of the Red Cross and another 70 accompanied by Russian peacekeepers to receive appropriate treatment. After being suspended for almost a month due to additional Azerbaijani obstacles to ICRC activities, the recently resumed transfers have been completely suspended for 10 days. And after resumption of ICRC operations along the Lachin Corridor on June 25, Azerbaijan suspended it again on July 10.
  • Around 3,900 people, including 550 children, have been separated from their homes as a result of the blockade, however, some have already returned home with the assistance of the Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers.
  • No citizen traveled freely along the Stepanakert-Goris highway (Lachin (Qashatagh) corridor), and the cases of two-way movement of people decreased by about 209 times, and only with the support of the Red Cross and RF peacekeepers (instead of 526.750 people in 215 days, 2,521  entry and exit. In the last 3 days, 0 cases of exit and entry of citizens were registered). 
  • Not a single vehicle of Nagorno-Karabakh citizens passed through the blocked road, and the movement of vehicles was almost 68 times less than it should have been without the blockade (instead of 197,800  2,923  vehicles entered and exited in 215 days, and that only by Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers). That means 0 vehicle entries and exits were recorded in the last 3 days.
  • About 15 times fewer vital goods were imported by the Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers than should have been without the blockade (5.715 tons instead of about 86,000 tons in 215 days, 0 tons in the last 3 days).
  • During the blockade, Azerbaijan completely or partially interrupted the sole gas supply into Nagorno-Karabakh for a total of 148 days and the electricity supply has been completely disrupted for 186 days. This has led to daily blackouts and additional emergency shutdowns, resulting in many facilities closing or curtailing operations.
  • 860 business entities (20,1 % of the total) have suspended their activities due to the impossible operating conditions under the blockade, while the remaining operate partially or with state support.
  • An estimated 11,000 people (including state-supported temporary work placements and more than 50% of private sector workers) have lost jobs and sources of income as a result of the impact on the economy from the blockade and disruptions of vital infrastructure. 
  • Construction work of 32.6 kilometres of roads, tens of kilometres of water lines, irrigation systems for thousands of hectares of land, 3,717 apartments, and more than 40 social and industrial infrastructures have been stopped.
  • During the blockade, the economy of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh suffered a loss of around 409 million US dollars, leading to the decline of the predicted annual GDP index (903 million dollars) by more than 45 per cent.
