US Department of State has Admitted the fallacy of its formulations,
RA FM Vardan Oskanyan said at today's press-conference in the Regnum
IA's Yerevan Office, commenting on the US State Department's report
on Human Rights in Armenia. To remind, the authors of the report had
mentioned Nagorno Karabakh as territories occupied by Armenia.
According to him, the Armenian side has already addressed the
American one and the Department of State admitted the incorrectness
of the report formulations. "It is an apparent mistake and the
Department of State admits that this was an incorrect formulation",
RA FM said. According to the Minister, it is difficult to correct the
report after its publishing for purely bureaucratic reasons, however,
the American side has promised to introduce some clarities.
It is yet unclear how it will be done. Along with it, the Minister
reminded that the report has no legal effect. In V. Oskanyan's
opinion, the attitude of the report authors and not that of the State
Department is reflected in the report. "The report does not reflect the
US policy in this issue.", having added that there are no reasons to
operate this subject. "If Azerbaijan decides to operate this subject,
it will demonstrate its weakness and absence of other reasons". RA
FM said. He reminded that the report concerned the human rights in
Armenia and not in Karabakh.
