U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken has demanded that Azerbaijan open a disputed corridor to Armenia. “He underscored that the risk of a humanitarian crisis … undermined prospects for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan,' a spokesperson said.
Wading into a festering conflict in the volatile Caucasus region, the United States’ top diplomat on Monday demanded that Azerbaijan open a disputed corridor to Armenia before its closure results in a humanitarian disaster.
“He underscored that the risk of a humanitarian crisis … undermined prospects for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Price said. “This blockade is imposing devastation on an already vulnerable region,” Menendez wrote, by creating severe food and medicine shortages over the last month.Azerbaijan maintains that transit is being disrupted by protesters who are angry over illegal mining in the area, purportedly by Armenians. But Menendez, other U.S. and European officials and pro-Armenia activists in the U.S. say the blame lies with Aliyev.
