    AZERI LEADERSHIP DISCONTENT WITH JOHN EVANS'S STATEMENTS


    28.02.2005 14:42

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The statements made by US Ambassador to Armenia
    John Evans, who said that Karabakh cannot be given to Azerbaijan,
    aroused discontent of the Azeri society, Caucasian knot reports. In
    this view, the Azeri Foreign Ministry issued a formal release, which
    says, in part, "It is strange to hear such words from a
    representative of the US State Department, which has many times
    confirmed its support for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and
    never recognized Nagorno Karabakh as an independent state". On this
    account the Azeri Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested the US
    officials to render explanation of the statements made by the US
    Ambassador to Armenia. Azerbaijan's Ambassador to the US Hafiz
    Pashayev also discussed the issue with US Deputy Assistant Secretary
    of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Laura Kennedy. According
    to Pashayev "the US officials with regret heard Mr. Evans's
    statements" and he was assured that "the US supports the territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan and does not recognize Nagorno Karabakh".
