Armenian FM Vardan Oskanyan does not think that the ban of Jermuk
mineral water in the US and some other countries had any political
implications.

During a press-conference today Oskanyan said that there is no
connection between the ban and the recent report of the US State
Department that mentioned Karabakh as a territory occupied by Armenia.

To remind, recently the US and a number of other countries banned the
sale of Jermuk because of high content of arsenic and ammonium. A
number of political experts, mostly in Russia, believe that the US
is just pressuring Armenia.
