John Kirby, NSC Coordinator For Strategic Communications referred to the closure of Lachin corridor during his press briefing.
“We’ve said many times, we certainly remain deeply concerned about the continued closure of that corridor in Nagorno-Karabakh to commercial, humanitarian, and private vehicles. We want to see that corridor opened up again. We continue to urge the Government of Azerbaijan to restore free transit of commercial, humanitarian, and private vehicles through the corridor expeditiously. And we have maintained a level of dialogue and diplomacy at various levels”, Kirby said.
“We’re going to continue to stay engaged diplomatically to encourage a peaceful resolution here for – and an easing of tensions, and certainly to get the corridor open again in Nagorno-Karabakh so that humanitarian assistance and supplies can get to the people that need it most”, he said.
Kirby also referred to the arms delivery to Armenia by India through Iran. “I haven’t seen that report and I don’t want to speculate”, Kirby specified.
