"We are deeply concerned about deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Nagorno-Karabakh resulting from the continued blockage of food, medicine, and other goods essential to a dignified existence," State Department Spokesperson, Matthew Miller , said in a statement.

The spokesperson went on to add, "Further, officials from Baku and representatives from Stepanakert should convene without delay to agree on the means of transporting critical provisions to the men, women, and children of Nagorno-Karabakh – including additional supply routes – and resume discussions on all outstanding issues."
Miller concluded: "Basic humanitarian assistance should never be held hostage to political disagreements."
