MOSCOW/TBILISI, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia was ready to deploy troops to the Armenia-Azerbaijan border to quell tensions between the two countries, but Yerevan's hardline position had so far prevented it.

Tensions have spiralled between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the blockade of the only road giving direct access to the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region from Armenia in recent weeks.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke on Wednesday with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and the two discussed steps to restart bilateral talks with Azerbaijan, the U.S. State Department said.

Lavrov said Russia was still prepared to send a mission to the region within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), a Moscow-led military alliance of which Armenia, but not Azerbaijan, is a member.

But Yerevan's previous insistence on including condemnations of Azerbaijan's behaviour had stood in the way.

"We had difficulties related to the situation in Armenia, when our Armenian friends pushed the need to send a CSTO mission to the border with Azerbaijan to ensure some stability there," Lavrov told a news conference on Wednesday.

"We agreed on a document and on the parameters of the mission... but it was not possible to accept it, because Armenia started insisting that the document contain a harsh condemnation of Azerbaijan."

Russia is an ally of Armenia, but also strives for good relations with Azerbaijan.

The latest stand-off concerns a blockade of the Lachin Corridor linking Armenia to the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

The region is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but is controlled by its ethnic Armenian majority. It broke away from Baku's control in a war in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as the Soviet Union was disintegrating.

In his call with the Armenian prime minister, Blinken "expressed deep concern for the worsening humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, resulting from the blockage of the Lachin corridor," the State Department said.

State Department spokesperson Ned Price said he expected Blinken to speak to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in the coming days.

Azerbaijanis who say they are environmental activists have blockaded the road for more than a month in what they say is a dispute over illegal Armenian mining. Yerevan says they are government-backed agitators.

The impasse is being seen as a test of Russia's ability to calm hostilities in its backyard.

Officials in Armenia have grown increasingly angry at Moscow's refusal to use its peacekeeping force in the region to end the blockade, while Moscow has criticised Armenia's attempts to have the European Union broker a settlement.

"Despite the fact that we are allies... Armenia prefers to negotiate with the European Union," Lavrov said on Wednesday.

He said any EU presence in the region without Baku's consent would be counterproductive.

Russia's Lavrov says Moscow ready to send mission to Armenia-Azerbaijan border

Jan 17 (Reuters) - Russia told Azerbaijan on Tuesday that a key road leading into the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh must be quickly cleared of protesters but Baku remained unmoved, according to differing accounts from the two sides.

Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but home to a mainly Armenian population. The issue is becoming a major irritant for Russia, which wants to maintain good relations with both Azerbaijan and Armenia, two small former Soviet states in the Caucasus region.

For the past month, Azeris claiming to be environmental activists have blocked transport along the Lachin Corridor, the only road linking Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, in what Yerevan has called a government-endorsed blockade.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke to Azeri counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov and "stressed the need for a swift and complete unblocking of traffic through the Lachin Corridor", the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.

Bayramov dismissed what he called allegations of a roadblock and a humanitarian crisis in the enclave, saying dozens of cars and ambulances used the corridor every day, according to an Azeri statement cited by Russia's Interfax news agency.

Baku says the protesters have legitimate concerns over illegal Armenian mining in the area.

"In this context, the need to fulfill the just demand of the protesters was noted," said the Azeri statement.

Officials in Yerevan have grown increasingly angry at Russia - formally an ally through a mutual self defence treaty - for not doing more to end the blockade, especially since Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the corridor.

Russia blamed Armenia last week for a breakdown in bilateral peace talks with Azerbaijan.

MOSCOW (AP) - Two years after Azerbaijan and Armenia ended a war that killed about 6,800 soldiers and displaced around 90,000 civilians, tensions between the countries are again high in a dispute over a six-kilometer (nearly four-mile) road known as the Lachin Corridor.

The winding road, which is the only land connection between Armenia and the ethnic Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh region in Azerbaijan, has been blocked by protesters claiming to be environmental activists since mid-December, threatening food supplies to Nagorno-Karabakh's 120,000 people.

The dispute raises fears that new fighting could break out. It also could destabilize Armenia's chronically excitable politics. As well, it casts doubts on the competence and intentions of Russia, whose peacekeeping troops are charged with keeping the road secure.

ROOTS OF THE DISPUTE

Mountainous Nagorno-Karabakh, smaller than the U.S. state of Delaware, has significant cultural importance to both Armenians and Azeris. It had a substantial degree of autonomy within Azerbaijan when it was part of the Soviet Union. As the USSR deteriorated, Armenian separatist unrest broke out, later turning into a full-scale war after the Soviet Union collapsed.

Most of the Azeri population was driven out by the end of the fighting in 1994. Ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia took control not only of Nagorno-Karabakh itself but of sizable surrounding Azerbaijani areas.

For the next quarter-century, Nagorno-Karabakh was a "frozen conflict," with Armenian and Azerbaijani forces facing off across a no man's land and occasional clashes. In September 2020, Azerbaijan launched a full-scale assault to take the region. The fierce fighting lasted six weeks.

The war ended with a Russia-brokered armistice under which Azerbaijan regained control of parts of Nagorno-Karabakh and all the surrounding territory previously occupied by Armenians. Russia sent a peacekeeping force of 2,000 troops to maintain order, including ensuring that the Lachin Corridor remained open.

CURRENT TROUBLE

In mid-December, Azeris claiming to be environmental activists began blocking the road, saying they were protesting illegitimate mining by Armenians. Armenia contends the protests are orchestrated by Azerbaijan. In turn, Azerbaijan alleges that Armenians have used the corridor to transport land mines into Nagorno-Karabakh in violation of the armistice terms.

After more than a month of blockages, food shortages in Nagorno-Karabakh have become severe as reserves run low. The local government on Friday implemented a coupon system allowing only limited purchases of rice, pasta, buckwheat, sugar and sunflower oil. Local authorities have called for a humanitarian airlift for critical supplies, but Azerbaijan hasn't given authorization for the region's airport to operate.

Azerbaijan also has sporadically cut gas supplies to Nagorno-Karabakh - most recently on Saturday evening - and electricity supplies are reduced.

Although Russia is tasked with ensuring the Lachin Corridor's operation, it has taken no overt action to end the blockade.

The European Parliament has called for Russian peacekeepers to be replaced by a mission from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe - even though it criticized the OSCE for failing to resolve Nagorno-Karabakh's status during the decades that preceded the 2020 war.

CONSEQUENCES

With its attention focused on the fighting in Ukraine, Russia has taken a wait-and-see approach to the Lachin Corridor blockade, angering Armenia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan this month refused to allow Armenia to host military exercises of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization alliance, saying that "Russia's military presence in Armenia not only fails to guarantee its security, but it raises security threats for Armenia." Armenia hosts a Russian military base.

Russia's involvement in ending the 2020 war was seen as a significant accomplishment that boosted its influence in the region. The esteem it gained could be lost if it doesn't take stronger measures to open up the road.

Pashinyan's assenting to the Russia-brokered agreement to end the fighting was widely unpopular in Armenia, with opponents accusing him of being a traitor and large protests demanding his resignation. Failure to resolve the current dispute, leaving Nagorno-Karabakh's Armenians suffering and isolated, could provoke new unrest - and Pashinyan is aware of the potential power of such protests, having become prime minister himself on the heels of large demonstrations in 2018.

There are no oranges in Artsakh for Christmas.

Celebrated on January 6 according to the local Orthodox calendar, holiday festivities will be curtailed this year in the disputed Caucasus enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. Demonstrations by reported environmental activists from Azerbaijan have closed the one road connecting the mountainous territory to Armenia, and Russian peacekeeping forces have failed to intervene.

Over 100,000 Armenians depend on daily imports of 400 tons of food and medicine to the enclave they call Artsakh. With the blockade of the Lachin corridor now in its third week, local officials are warning of a humanitarian disaster as they implement price controls and ration remaining goods.

But the Christmas tree is lit in the central square of the capital, Stepanakert.

"People will carry on with the traditions as best they can," said Aren Deyirmenjian, country representative for the Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA). "But we will reflect the love of a God who stays by your side, even when all goes wrong."

During a 44-day war with 6,500 casualties in 2020, Azerbaijan recaptured three-quarters of its internationally recognized sovereign territory, before Russia engineered a ceasefire. The indigenous Armenian inhabitants controlled the enclave for the previous 30 years, claiming the right of self-determination in an unrecognized 1991 independence referendum.

Following its defeat two years ago, Armenia pursued peace treaties with neighboring Azerbaijan and Turkey, which had backed their Turkic Azeri kin with decisive drone technology. But these were interrupted by further clashes in which Azerbaijan seized more territory in Nagorno-Karabakh and even along Armenia's border.

And beginning December 12, Azerbaijani activists set up camp to protest alleged illegal gold and copper mining, exported through Lachin back to Armenia. Terms of the armistice left Russian peacekeepers in charge of the road, with no Azerbaijani oversight.

"We can stay here for months," stated one demonstrator.

Local residents have reported shortages, with no fruit in Artsakh's markets-part of the traditional Christmas Eve feast alongside fish, rice pilaf, and raisins. More critically, hospital patients lack essential medicines, with only a handful allowed transfer to facilities in Armenia proper. Gas supplies were cut for three days in the winter cold. And about 1,000 residents were stranded in the border town of Goris-including 18 members of a children's choir that had performed in Armenia's capital, Yerevan.

Azerbaijan has denied it is imposing a blockade. Officials have said that anyone will be allowed travel through the Lachin corridor upon prior permission and submission to local inspection. If none pass through, they blame the Russians and Armenians.

So far, only the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has gained access to Nagorno-Karabakh. Deyirmenjian said the Armenian social affairs ministry contacted the AMAA to participate in the ICRC's 10-ton aid delivery, adding 220 pounds of infant formula to the first effort and 1,100 pounds of rice alongside two tons of sugar in the second.

Upon the aid's arrival, the AMAA center in Stepanakert, located near the only Armenian Evangelical church in the enclave, coordinated distribution in the neighborhood, which included the congregation's 125 members.

So far, local morale is high.

"Our office manager told me, 'We are happy we are on this side of the blockade,'" Deyirmenjian said. "It gave me chills."

Garegin Hambardzumyan concurs. A priest in the Armenian Apostolic church, he heads the Oriental Orthodox denomination's Department for the Preservation of Cultural and Spiritual Values of Artsakh. Generations of Armenians have lived in the rugged, mountainous land for a thousand years, he said. They will not be scared away easily.

The Divine Liturgy for the January 5 Christmas Eve mass will be the traditional candlelight service, after which the faithful will carry the symbolic light of Christ back to their homes. Many will exchange gifts, and the church has distributed chocolate and Bibles to the 3,000 children who live in Nagorno-Karabakh.

"The family is the best place to feel the warmth of Jesus' love," said Hambardzumyan. "Continuing their life as if it were normal is a sign of dedication to their homeland."

Last week, Armenia lodged a protest with the United Nations' International Court of Justice, demanding the blockade be lifted. UNICEF, the UN institution for children, issued a warning. Pope Francis has expressed concern, and human rights organizations have called for unfettered access.

But some anticipate worse-a sinister continuation of history.

"The process of the Armenian Genocide has been ongoing since the Ottoman massacres of the late nineteenth century," stated John Eibner, president of Christian Solidarity International (CSI). "Now, by placing Nagorno-Karabakh under blockade, the dictatorship of Azerbaijan is clearly telegraphing its intent to carry out another phase of the Genocide."

Cosignatories to the statement include In Defense of Christians, International Christian Concern, and the Union of the Armenian Evangelical Churches in Eurasia. Prior to the blockade, Genocide Watch had already identified four of its ten stages of genocide at play.

An anonymous Christian leader in Azerbaijan pushes back against the charge. Withholding his name due to the sensitivity of commenting on political issues, he said the local discourse emphasizes the government's intention to treat the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh as citizens, living peaceably in a multicultural nation. If they fight, they will be driven out, he warned. But there is no fear of genocide.

At the same time, he concurred with skeptical analysis about the protesters.

"We don't care about ecology as such; this is not Sweden and Greta Thunberg," said the source, who has authored a series of books exploring the spiritual consequences of historic geopolitics. "It is ridiculous; it cannot happen without direct order of the government."

Peoples of the East are indirect, he said, dressing their pressure campaign in the guise of environmentalism to resonate with Western concerns. He believes the goal is to push Armenia to finalize a peace deal while Russia is distracted by its war in Ukraine. Azerbaijan wants to make clear it holds the upper hand.

Additionally, if the blockade sets up a checkpoint system into Nagorno-Karabakh, it will aid Azerbaijan's national security. The government issued reports that allege Iranian security services have entered the enclave.

Azerbaijan, though a Shiite Muslim-majority nation, is allied with Israel and is a key supplier of natural gas to Western nations. Tensions with Iran have increased recently as both sides conduct military drills on the border.

Others posit a different rationale.

"Azerbaijan cannot take this step without the agreement of Russia-it is a combined action," said Vazgen Zohrabyan, pastor of Abovyan City Church, northeast of Yerevan. "Moscow is ready to sacrifice the people of Nagorno-Karabakh for its economic interests."

Also a political analyst with a master's degree from Yerevan State University, he believes the Ukraine war has pushed Russia to side with Azerbaijan over interpretation of a clause in the armistice agreement. While the Lachin corridor was left under Russian peacekeeper supervision, the agreement's final point called for the opening of all transportation routes, specifically mentioning the link between Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan enclave.

A 20-mile railway once linked the oil-rich nation with its noncontiguous territory to the west, stretching along Armenia's border with Iran. Azerbaijan calls it the Zangazur corridor (Armenians call it the Meghri highway) and wants an access arrangement similar to Lachin's status now, with no customs control. The armistice says that Russian border police will oversee security.

For Azerbaijan, this will create a direct link with Turkey-bordering Nakhchivan-and the rest of Turkic Central Asia to the east. For Russia, this will provide a path to export its own natural resources through Azerbaijan to Turkey and eventually Europe, evading sanctions and the Western boycott, said Zohrabyan.

But as a pastor, his chief concern is humanitarian.

Abovyan City Church currently supports 30 families in Nagorno-Karabakh, a continuation of its emergency relief to hundreds during the war. And it recently partnered with a local businessman to open a bakery in Stepanakert, with 10 percent of its bread supply dedicated to the needy. Zohrabyan was due to attend the grand opening with the chief adviser to the enclave's president-until the blockade halted traffic. The bakery remains closed, unable to find the necessary flour.

Holding the unpopular opinion that Armenia must forge peace with its enemy, he blames both sides for maintaining an atmosphere of distrust. But while the comparison between corridors is "logical," he said, it is not "diplomatically legitimate."

Lachin is the status quo and must remain open. Other routes are to be negotiated.

Until then, like many, he fears Azerbaijan is using its superior position to impose a checkpoint. He does not readily raise alarm but is concerned.

"When Lachin opens, it will be one way-out," said Zohrabyan. "It smells like another genocide, to make life as hard as they can so that the Armenians will leave."

In his New Year's speech, Azerbaijan's president Ilham Aliyev stated the Zangazur corridor would be opened "whether Armenia wants it or not." But his rhetoric has gone further. He has highlighted the surrounding region as Azeris' ancestral land-to which they will definitely "return." He even described Yerevan as a "political and strategic goal" that Azeris "must gradually approach."

Some view this language as positioning for negotiation. But others see a wider territorial ambition. Last month, Aliyev called the ethnic Azeris of Iran "our people" and said he would "protect [their] secular lifestyle." And of the Zangazur corridor, his ambassador to Turkey stated it would connect the "torn Turkic world."

Armenia is in between.

But within the current crisis, so are a few scattered villages. Armenia closed its border to prevent confrontations with Azerbaijani activists, isolating ethnic Armenian hamlets in the process. Inside Nagorno-Karabakh but on the other side of the blockade, they are suffering also.

In a "testimony to God's work," the AMAA was able to reach them. A female staff member in Yerevan loaded her car with flour, oil, and other necessities and went in faith.

Along the way, she received a telephone call from the office of the prime minister. She did not know the female staffer or how her number was obtained but politely thanked her for the offer of help.

Upon reaching the border, she needed it. Blocked by authorities, a quick phone call back to the official allowed her to pass. The beleaguered villagers received a "testimony to God's love" amid geopolitical tension.

"Azerbaijan says it wants to live in peace," said Deyirmenjian. "But starving a people gives little evidence you want to live together."
