We remain deeply concerned about the continued closure of
\nthe Lachin corridor, specifically its closure to commercial, humanitarian, and
\nprivate vehicles. Principal Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of
\nState Vedant Patel said this at his briefing.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“The halting of this kind of humanitarian traffic, in our
\nopinion, worsens the humanitarian situation and undermines the efforts that
\nhave been in place to build confidence in the peace process. And so we urge the
\nGovernment of Azerbaijan to restore free transit of commercial, humanitarian,
\nand private vehicles through this corridor. We’re also aware that the UN
\nSecurity Council has a meeting on Wednesday to discuss the issue of
\nNagorno-Karabakh, and we expect further discussions to take place there as well,”
\nPatel said.
<\/p><\/p>\n
Patel did not answer the question as to what the position of
\nthe U.S. mission to the U.N is on that very issue at the U.N.
<\/p><\/p>\n

“We have consistently emphasized and reiterated the fact
\nthat direct dialogue is essential to resolving this longstanding conflict, and
\nwe think that any engagements that ultimately bring peace and stability to the
\npeople of South Caucasus would be a good thing and a positive step forward,” he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
