Congressman Adam Schiff has demanded sanctions against Azerbaijan, including depriving the latter of annual aid provided by the U.S., the Voice of America reports.
Since December 12, the sole road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia – the Lachin Corridor – has been blocked by self-described Azerbaijani environmentalists. Karabakh residents have reported food and fuel shortages, while hospital patients don't have access to essential medicines, with only a handful allowed transfer to facilities in Armenia proper.
Schiff also welcomed the humanitarian aid provided by Armenia to Turkey.
