On March 7 the U.S. Embassy in Armenia turned down the request of
Arshak Sadoyan, leader of the Alliance of National Democrats (AND). To
remind, on February 24, Arshak Sadoyan applied to the U.S. Embassy and
urged them to render financial assistance to the RA "medium parties"
to realize pre-election campaign via television.
Steve Benks, head of the U.S. Embassy department engaged in Political
and Economic issues, expressed his regret in the letter saying,
"The U.S.
Embassy cannot render the financial assistance you seek. The idea
proposed by you has nothing to do with our programs and mission to
support the RA elections and democracy enhancement".
Arshak Sadoyan is not satisfied with the answer of the U.S. Embassy. He
intends to apply to the Embassies of the U.S., the UK, Germany,
France, Italy, as well as the Armenian offices of the UNO and OSCE.
It is noteworthy that in answer to Sadoyan's request, some embassies
refused getting Sadoyan's letter at all. U.S. Charge d'Affairs
Anthony Godfrey informed Arshak Sadoyan that they wouldn't help
separate parties.
" Mr. Godfrey is surely unaware of this application. Will the USA allot
$6.5 million only to the RA authorities? ", wonders Mr. Arshakyan.
In Mr. Sadoyan's opinion the embassies and international organizations
in Armenia conceal part of the data and don't pass the full information
on Armenia to their governments.
That's why Sadoyan is going to send a letter to Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of State, inquiring whether they are going to render real
assistance during the March 12 elections. In case they give a positive
answer "I urge them to do it as soon as possible".
And in case Sadoyan gets a negative answer, he will apply to the
U.S. great tax-payers via famous mass media announcing that "they
make promises they don't intend to keep".
