Armenia asks Russia's Putin to act to end Karabakh's isolation

Armenia on Tuesday asked President Vladimir Putin to take a tougher line on Nagorno-Karabakh and for Russian peacekeepers to end what it calls Azerbaijan's blockade of the Lachin corridor which leads to the enclave.
Armenia said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had spoken to Putin about the resulting humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh and had “highlighted” the importance of Russia taking the necessary steps to overcome it.
