U.S. continues to work to resolve situation between Armenia and  Azerbaijan - U.S. Dep`t of State

ArmInfo.The U.S. continues to work to resolve the situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Matthew Miller, Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, told a briefing.  

"I'll just say that we continue to work to resolve the situation  between Armenia and Azerbaijan. As I spoke to yesterday, the  Secretary has been personally involved in this, with multiple  conversations just in the past week. We did note - I will say - you  brought up the topic - that in the last 24 hours one shipment of  humanitarian supplies passed through the Aghdam route into  Nagorno-Karabakh, and so we will reiterate our call on the specific  question about the importance of opening both corridors into the  country and as a more - as a short-term matter, and as a more  long-term matter, the two countries coming to an ultimate agreement,"  Mr Miller said.  

Interestingly, Mr Miller called Nagorno-Karabakh "the country" - a  slip of the tongue or a deliberate act?   

The Russian Red Cross delivered the first consignment of humanitarian  aid to Nagorno-Karabakh. Russian foreign office spokesperson Maria  Zakharova said  that Moscow hopes for unblocking of the Lachin  corridor along with the Aghdam corridor in the immediate future, and  "humanitarian aid will unimpededly be delivered to the region on  regular basis in both directions." 

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated Armenia's leadership actually  recognized Azerbaijan's sovereignty over Nagorno-Karabakh. 

"In this context a number of questions arise concerning the  humanitarian component and the Russian peacekeepers' mandate for  presence in the region," he said.
