U.S. Embassy in Yerevan Bans Employees from Travelling to Armenia-Azerbaijan Border

 The U.S. Embassy in Armenia issued a security alert today prohibiting its employees and their families from any non-essential travel to various areas near the Azerbaijani border:

Ezzat Allah Toosi: I'm sure you question Azerbaijan's ten month blockade of the Lachin Corredor, the only access to Nagorno-Karabakh, leaving the Armenian residents without food or medical care. When the finally opened that single road, within a week, 110,000 people left EVERYTHING behind and emigrated to Armenia. Now Azerbaijan and Turkey have declaired the hostile act of building the unauthorized Zangezur Corredor right through Armenia, *regardless* of Armenia's prohibition. This will unite Azerbaijan and Turkey to what Presidents Aliyev and Erdogan termed "the whole Turkic world". This leaves Armenians vulnerable to yet another genocide to absorb their land and economy. Even though Turkey still denies their actions of a century ago, the recent action against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh foreshadow intent.
