PARIS, France- French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday vowed to launch a new diplomatic initiative to up pressure on Azerbaijan over its blockade of Armenian-controlled areas of Nagorno-Karabakh which has raised fears of a humanitarian crisis.

French President Emmanuel Macron addresses French ambassadors during the conference of ambassadors at the Elysee Palace in Paris, on August 28, 2023.

"We will demand full respect for the Lachin humanitarian corridor and we will again launch a diplomatic initiative internationally to increase pressure on this issue," he said. The Caucasus neighbours have been locked in a dispute over the enclave -- internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan -- since the 1980s and fought two wars over the territory.

For months, Yerevan has accused Baku of stopping traffic through the Lachin corridor -- a short, mountainous road linking Armenia to settlements in Nagorno-Karabakh still populated by Armenians after the latest conflict.
