“We have not seen a draft resolution”: US denies claims on pressuring UNSC members not to adopt resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh

The US Embassy in Armenia denied the claims that the US is putting pressure on the member states of the UN Security Council not to sign a resolution on the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Embassy of the United States addressed the topic, answering the question of “Armenpress”.

Question: Does your country plan to submit a draft resolution following the UN Security Council urgent meeting of August 16 regarding the humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh?

Answer: At the United Nations Security Council meeting last Wednesday on the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh, led by our Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the Council discussed key issues related to the current humanitarian situation.

We have not seen a draft resolution, and claims that the U.S. is pressuring member countries not to sign a resolution are completely false.

As noted in our statement at the UNSC session, we remain deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in NK and we’re encouraging the Azerbaijani government to open the Lachin Corridor to humanitarian, commercial and private traffic expeditiously.
