The travel advisory specifically mentions Yeraskh and Jermuk.

“Travel to Nagorno-Karabakh continues to be prohibited,” the travel advisory said.

On Tuesday, Miller told reporters that the cancelation of a scheduled meeting on Monday between Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers in Washington was due to scheduling issues.

“As we’ve said before, we believe direct dialogue is key to resolving the remaining issues. We believe an agreement is within reach. This meeting unfortunately couldn’t go forward 100 percent due to scheduling issues, and we look forward to rescheduling it as soon as we can,” Miller said at a press briefing when asked why the June 12 meeting was canceled. He did not disclose new possible dates for rescheduling the meeting.

Armenia’s foreign ministry reported last week that the June 12 meeting was canceled at Azerbaijan’s request.

The date coincided with a state visit by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey to Baku.
