"The U.S. State Department admits that the interpretation was wrong",
RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian announced today. This refers to
the department's annual report according to which Armenia has occupied
Karabakh and the adjacent territories.
Armenia has submitted a written notification to the U.S. State
Department on the report, Vartan Oskanian reports. "The mistake is
evident. The State Department has admitted it. The interpretation
was not to appear in the report. "We assume that out of certain
bureaucratic reasons it is difficult to amend the document after its
official publication, but they promised us to see to the matter. Once
more I assure you that the State Department has admitted its mistake
and it will try to correct the mistake" repeated Mr. Oskanian.
The RA FM noted that the document has no legal force, and Azerbaijan
cannot make use of the interpretation.
Azerbaijan cannot use the report against Armenia. One thing is obvious;
various approaches of the report are not coordinated. The fact is
explicit", added the foreign minister.
