On August 31, US State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller expressed deep concern about the humanitarian situation in Karabakh.

"We are deeply concerned about the deterioration of humanitarian conditions in Nagorno-Karabakh as a result of the continuous blockade of food, medicine, and other goods necessary for a dignified life. The United States has worked continuously with the parties over the past several weeks to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches the people of Nagorno-Karabakh. We reiterate our call for the immediate reopening of the Lachin Corridor for humanitarian, commercial, and passenger traffic," the State Department added.

Miller also noted that representatives of the official Baku and Karabakh Armenians should meet urgently and agree on the ways of transporting necessary food, including additional supply routes, and continue discussions on all other crucial issues. "Necessary humanitarian aid should never be held hostage to political differences," added Matthew Miller.

On the same day, in response to Matthew Miller's statement, Aykhan Hajizada, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, said that the claims of a blockade in the region are unacceptable and that the situation is political rather than humanitarian.

"Azerbaijan has repeatedly invited Armenian residents to a meeting regarding the reintegration of Armenian residents, the delivery of humanitarian goods to the Karabakh region by various routes, as well as the organization of a meeting between the special representative of Azerbaijan and representatives of local Armenian residents, and the agreements reached on the organization of meetings in this direction, the Armenian side's own so-called regime It is well known to the US side that it evades by putting forward illegal conditions and various excuses," Hajizada said.
