In my meeting with displaced families in Metsamor today, I heard first-hand about the impact and hardships persons displaced by the conflict face in Armenia today. I am impressed by their resiliency, despite all challenges.

I also heard from them about the impact of the Lachin corridor closure on their lives and the lives of their families in NK. As Secretary Blinken said, the Lachin corridor should be opened immediately.
