Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For both of the witnesses, thank you for being here with us and for sharing this information. It's very important for the committee to hear this.
I would start with Mr. Avetisyan, who is the representative in Washington. I'd like to get a bit more information from you about the U.S. position on this crisis.
We have heard that Antony Blinken has spoken on this and has urged the immediate reopening of the corridor to commercial traffic. He underscored that the risk of a humanitarian crisis in the Lachin corridor undermines prospects for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I'm just wondering if you could comment on what you're hearing from the U.S. government and how they've offered to help.
