On Friday the San Francisco Armenian National Committee had
informed that John Evans, the American Ambassador extraordinary
and plenipotentiary to Armenia, had announced during the meeting
with the US Armenian Diaspora that Karabakh cannot be returned to
Azerbaijan. The Armenian National TV Company had informed about it.

Today the embassy has made an announcement hinting that it is early to
be inspired. It is said in the announcement, â~@~Misunderstandings
about the U.S. policy may have arisen as a result of my comments on
the status of Nagorno Karabakh.

The U.S. government supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and holds that the future status of Nagorno Karabakh is a matter
of negotiation between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The United States
remains committed to finding a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict through the Minsk group process. We are encouraged
by the continuing talks between the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and
Azerbaijan under the auspice of the Minsk group co-chairs.â~@~]
