The United States is deeply troubled by the rapidly
deteriorating humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. U.S. Ambassador to
the OSCE Michael R. Carpenter made a statement on this.
“We reiterate the call for Azerbaijan to take all measures
at its disposal to ensure unimpeded movement of persons, vehicles, and cargo
along the Lachin Corridor in both directions,” the ambassador noted.
Carpenter expressed his concern that unless immediate action
is taken by the sides to find a solution, the humanitarian situation inside
Nagorno-Karabakh will continue to deteriorate.
“We also urge leaders against taking any actions that raise
tensions or distract from this goal. The use of force to resolve disputes is
unacceptable. We pledge continued U.S. support for the peace process,” he said.
