US denies claims on pressuring UNSC not to sign resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh

The U.S. Embassy in Armenia denied claims that the U.S. is
putting pressure on the member states of the U.N. Security Council not to sign
a resolution on the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh following the
emergency meeting held on Aug. 16.

The U.S. Embassy in Armenia referred to this, responding to
Armenpress’s question.

“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,” reads the answer.

They also noted that the U.S. remains deeply concerned about
the humanitarian situation in Nagorno Karabakh and is encouraging the
Azerbaijani government to open the Lachin Corridor to humanitarian, commercial
and private traffic expeditiously.
