U.S. insists on immediate reopening of Lachin Corridor
The United States has reiterated its call for the immediately reopening of the Lachin Corridor, the sole land link between Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and Armenia blocked by Azerbaijan for nine months now.
"We want the Lachin Corridor to be opened immediately," U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told a press briefing on Thursday in response to a question about the State Department’s message to "suffering Armenian Christians" in Artsakh.
"We have made that clear. Secretary Blinken has engaged with the leaders of both Armenia and Azerbaijan to make it clear that we want the Lachin Corridor to be opened immediately to address the really dire humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh," he added.
