John Kirby, the White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, reflected on the 100th day of the illegal blockade of the Lachin corridor by Azerbaijan between Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, a reporter asked about the position of the US administration regarding the ongoing conflict, and whether the US considers the presence of Russian peacekeepers in Nagorno-Karabakh a concern.
" I would just—broadly speaking, what we’ve said before is we—we urge all sides here to deescalate. We don’t want to see any of this violence, and we want to see all sides take—take appropriate steps to deescalate the tension and to—and to stop the violence," Kirby responded, adding that he is not prepared to talk about the presence of Russian troops in Artsakh.
