YEREVAN (YERKIR) – “I would like not to believe that was what he said,”
Hamlet Gasparian, MFA Spokesman stated in response to the statement
by U.S.

Ambassador in Azerbaijan Reno Harnish who has commented on the March 2
interview of Armenia’s President Kocharian and said that the comment
about the possible unification of Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia can
only heighten the tension in the region and do no good.

“If he did, however, I would suggest to the honorable ambassador that
he not look too far, and instead comment on the statements made by
Azerbaijan’s leadership, which provide ample material for a variety
of assumptions, including heightening tensions in the region, and
even directly threatening war.

It would be interesting to know what keeps the ambassador from
not seeing or pretending not to see those? It appears that the US
Ambassador in Baku has gone native,” the RA MFA Spokesman said.
