On March 23, the head of the Khramort community reported that about half of the families had returned to their houses, there was no shelling attacks, but the Azerbaijani military continued to subject people to psychological pressure.

On March 23, the MIA of Nagorno-Karabakh accused Azerbaijan of “humanitarian terrorism” in connection with the cessation of the gas supply. Today, Yerevan and Stepanakert have hosted actions demanding the resumption of the gas supply to the houses of residents of Nagorno-Karabakh.
