On July 31, Ambassador Lilit Makunts spoke with Congressman Frank Pelon, Co-Chairman of the Committee on Armenian Affairs of the US Congress. During the conversation, the ambassador presented to the congressman the consequences of blocking the Lachin Corridor, which led to a humanitarian disaster in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the case of the kidnapping and arrest by Azerbaijan of Vagif Khachatryan, who was transferred to Armenia for treatment with ICRC support on July 29.
It was emphasized that such actions of Azerbaijan create an additional threat to the rights and security of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh.
