U.S. Embassy Issues Warning to Avoid Karahunj-Davit Bek and Kapan-Chakaten Areas: Karen Vrtanesyan

Military expert Karen Vrtanesyan noted on his Facebook page: "Indeed, the U.S. Embassy has issued a warning to its citizens, which was sent via email on November 18, advising them to avoid the Karahunj-Davit Bek and Kapan-Chakaten road sections.

Therefore, I am withdrawing my previous post.

Here’s an excerpt from the U.S. Embassy's letter sent to its citizens: "Event: There are reports of increased enforcement of Azerbaijani immigration and customs checkpoints on the M2 and M17. The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan advises U.S. citizens that U.S. Embassy employees and their families are now prohibited from any non-essential travel between the villages of Karahunj and Davit Bek on the M2 highway and between Kapan and Chakaten on the M17 highway. U.S. citizens should continue to exercise caution near all international borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan and avoid travel near the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone and line of contact."
