No country in the world, including the US, recognizes the fictional
Nagorno Karabakh Republic and the upcoming parliamentary ‘elections’
on May 23.

The official position of the United States has been voiced by the
official representative of the State Department, according to AzerTaj.

The United States supports the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group
aimed at search of ways of peaceful settlement. As one of the Minsk
Group co-chairs, the United States is working with the conflicting
Armenia and Azerbaijan attaining the conflict solution on the basis
of principles of the Helsinki final act-rejection of violence, right
for self-determination and preservation of territorial integrity.

State Department warns US citizens against travels to Azerbaijan’s
occupied regions

‘In the result of continued conflict, the US travelers should avoid
travels to Karabakh and adjacent regions, as well as the regions along
the front line of Azerbaijani and Armenian positions’, according to
the information posted on the website of the US Department of State.

The information also notes that currently the consulate services in
Karabakh are also not available for Americans.
