The suspension of traffic through the Lachin corridor has serious humanitarian consequences and harms the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. This was stated by US State Department spokesman Ned Price during a briefing. TASS reported this.
“We have made clear that the closure of the Lachin corridor has serious humanitarian consequences and delays the peace process,” Price said. “We call on the Azerbaijani government to restore free movement through the corridor.” “Any disruption of energy infrastructure operations — and we have reports of disruption of energy infrastructure operations — could deepen the humanitarian crisis, especially during the winter months. Causing [harm] to the peaceful population of Nagorno-Karabakh is unacceptable,” he noted.
