Pope Francis, during his traditional Sunday address in St. Peter's Square yesterday, expressed concerned over the blocking of the Lachin corridor linking Armenia and Artsakh, and called for a resolution of the issue, this according to TASS.

"I am concerned about the situation in the Lachin corridor in the South Caucasus. I am especially concerned about the difficult humanitarian situation of the population, which may worsen even more in the winter. I ask all participants to take responsibility and commit themselves to finding peaceful solutions for the benefit of the people," TASS quotes Pope Francis.
