US State Department reiterates call for immediate reopening of Lachin corridor

“We reiterate our call to immediately reopen the Lachin corridor to humanitarian, commercial, and passenger traffic as well,” Principal Deputy Spokesperson at US State Department Vedant Patel said during his press briefing.

He expressed deep concern over the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Nagorno-Karabakh resulting from the continued blockage of food, medicine, and other essential goods.

“The U.S. has worked continuously with the sides over the past several weeks to allow humanitarian assistance to reach the population of Nagorno-Karabakh,” Mr Patel said.
