The United States on Sunday expressed concern about the worsening situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and called for humanitarian supplies to be allowed through.

“The United States is deeply concerned about the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

“We note that humanitarian supplies are positioned near both the Lachin and Aghdam routes, and we repeat our call for the immediate and simultaneous opening of both corridors to allow passage of desperately needed humanitarian supplies to the men, women, and children in Nagorno-Karabakh. We also urge leaders against taking any actions that raise tensions or distract from this goal. The use of force to resolve disputes is unacceptable,” he added.

Blinken also reiterated that any peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan “must protect the rights and security of the residents of Nagorno-Karabakh.”
