"Saying that the annual Human Rights Report of the US Department
of State includes mistakes in the section on Armenia, among other
points I meant that it mentions that "Armenia continues keeping
occupied Nagorno Karabakh and seven other regions considered to
be the territory of Azerbaijan," Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian told the reporters today. He informed that this mistake has
been presented to the attention of the State Department. "US policy
and approaches on this issue are very distinct. Knowing this, I’m
confident that this is a mistake," Minister Oskanian noted.

The report has already been publicized, and according to Mr. Oskanian,
amendments will hardly be implemented in it, but on different occasions
the US will reiterate its approaches. The Minister expressed hope
that the mistakes will be corrected in the next report.
