The corridor is "de jure" in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan, but is under the control of a Russian peacekeeping force as provided for in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh armistice agreement with the armistice agreement providing:
History.
During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War from 1988 to 1994, the corridor came under the control of the Artsakh Defence Army. For administration purposes, it was part of the Republic of Artsakh's Kashatagh Province. In a statement to the United Nations on 18 September 2005, the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Elmar Mammadyarov, said "It is the issue of communication of the Armenians living in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan with Armenia and that of the Azerbaijanis living in the Nakhchivan region of Azerbaijan with the rest of the country. We suggest the using of the so-called Lachin corridor – which should be called "Road of Peace" – by both sides in both directions provided that security of this road will be ensured by the multinational peacekeeping forces at the initial stage".
In the aftermath of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, which ended with a Russian-brokered armistice, the Lachin corridor became the sole connection between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Current situation.
According to the Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev, within next 3 years or sooner a new corridor will be built in the region to bypass the city of Lachin.
Following the ceasefire, around 200 Armenians remained in the Lachin corridor, with 30 of them in Sus, 100-120 in Lachin and over 40 in Zabux.
In March 2021, a journalist for BBC visited the road, reporting that "since the war, Armenians have had no control over who and what uses this road", adding that the control is now up to the Russians.
