Yerevan /Mediamax/. U.S. Congressman, Chairman of the Subcommittee
on Europe and Eurasia of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dick
Burton, said in Yerevan today that he had discussed the issue of Ramil
Safarov's pardoning during his meetings with the Armenian leadership.
"My position coincides with the position of the U.S. Department of
State and the U.S. Administration. We are extremely troubled and the
situation is disappointing. However, it's important that the peace
talks continued. We don't want to see a resumption of the conflict in
the region and welcome the fact that the common sense prevailed and
not hasty steps were made. Nagorno Karabakh peace talks have been held
for many years and it's very important that they resumed again and
continued. We all know how long and destructive the previous war was.
New war can last even longer and be even more destructive," Dick
Burton said.
According to him, the governments of USA and other countries have
"clearly expressed their displeasure with this situation and given an
assessment to it", and the reaction of the Armenian leadership was
"moderate". At the same time, Dick Burton said he understands that
all people in Armenia are worried with this situation.
