Vardges Osipov, Chief doctor of the Stepanakert Mother and Child Health Care Center, said during a "Besieged Artsakh" TV interview.

"Unfortunately, we have also seen an increase in perinatal mortality rates in the past month. There are many reasons for this, including the stress experienced by our population, including pregnant women. A balanced diet is also very important, but our population does not have access to basic food. This is essential for having a healthy offspring."
