    U.S. rejects reports it opposes Karabakh's return to Baku

    Interfax, Russia
    Feb 28 2005

    YEREVAN/BAKU. Feb 28 (Interfax) - U.S. officials made a statement
    denying assertions that Washington, which one of the mediators working
    to resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, is against returning
    Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan.

    These assertions were made following Armenian media reports which
    cited U.S. Ambassador John Evans's statements made at a meeting with
    the Armenian community in Los Angeles.

    The U.S. ambassador was quoted as saying that although the U.S.
    respects the territorial integrity of states, everyone understands
    that giving Karabakh back to Azerbaijan would be a disaster.

    In the wake of this statement, the U.S. Embassies in Yerevan and
    Baku on Monday circulated statements saying that Evans's assertions
    reflected only his personal point of view.
