    U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern


    Yerevan /Mediamax/. U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern said that
    Armenia was able to return the remains of the 3 killed airmen, which
    is a "respectful step".

    While answering the questions of Mediamax and News.am, U.S. Ambassador
    stated that they have followed the developments around the dawned
    helicopter very carefully, having a continuous consulting with
    Washington.

    "What impressed me the most from my meeting with the Armenian Minister
    of Defense was the fact that he was focused on retrieval of the
    remains of the three killed airmen. And that's exactly what he was
    able to do. I have a great respect for him for his focus on that, and
    for his ability to get that done", John Heffern noted.

    The ambassador told that 3 days after the dawning of the helicopter
    Armenian Defense Minister asked the Co-chairs to urge Azerbaijan to
    assist with the retrieval of the remains.

    "I've talked on the phone to [U.S. Co-Chair] James Warlick, later we
    have talked to his French and Russian counterparts. And, probably the
    next day the co-chairs issued a statement. I was pleased that we were
    able to do the specific thing that the Minister had asked us to do. I
    don't know whether the co-chairs have helped with that. But we were
    able to do what Mr. Ohanyan asked us to do",- concluded Heffern.
