State Department: The U.S. gives priority to the re-opening of the Lachin corridor and a peaceful resolution to the overall matter

The U.S. gives priority to both the re-opening of the Lachin
corridor and a peaceful resolution between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Spokesperson
for the U.S. Department of State Matthew Miller said this.

“Lou Bono, who is in Yerevan now, continues to engage both
on the short-term priority, which is to re-open the Lachin corridor, and of
course the long-term priority, which I – I say long-term, but we really want it
to happen as soon as possible, which is to reach a peaceful resolution to the
overall matter,” Matthew Miller said.

He noted that they want the Lachin Corridor to be opened
immediately.

“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,” Miller said.
