U.S. says it supports South Caucasus peace efforts and will clarify position on Zangazur Corridor
Summary
When asked about the proposed Zangazur Corridor connecting Armenia and Azerbaijan, a State Department spokesperson said the United States supports efforts to promote peace and stability in the South Caucasus and will consult the White House for a more detailed position.
Tammy, a State Department spokesperson, told a reporter that the United States "supports, of course, efforts to promote peace and stability in the South Caucasus" and that the department is closely watching developments. Asked specifically about the Zangazur Corridor — a proposed land connection between Armenia and Azerbaijan — she said the State Department would check with the White House and provide more detailed comment later.
The question referenced earlier remarks by U.S. Ambassador Thomas Barrack about private-sector management of a corridor; Tammy declined to provide a definitive U.S. position at the briefing and said officials would follow up with additional information. She emphasized that the department is tracking the situation and supports steps that promote regional peace and stability.
