the United States

The debate over the U.S. State Department Armenia country report
on human rights practices continues. The politicians are trying to
evaluate the state of things and forecast the consequences.

"From the point of view of legal force, it cannot have a direct
influence on the settlement of the Karabakh issue. On the other hand,
the report is highly important. After all, the United States has a
great importance in the world and is one of the three co-chairs of
the Minsk Group," said the chair of the Committee of Industry and
Infrastructures Gagik Petrosyan in an interview with the KarabakhOpen.

"The change in the report of the U.S. State Department is due to the
following factors: first, the failure of the policy of Armenia in the
relations with the United States, second, possible attack of the United
States on Iran, and the role of Azerbaijan as an emplacement, third,
the factor of oil, fourth, the parliamentary election in Armenia,
namely an effort to denigrate the pro-government forces of Armenia.

The confrontation of the United States and its partners on the one hand
and Russia together with his partners on the other hand in the Caucasus
is gradually outlining. In this context Russia should try to settle the
situation and set up direct relations with NKR," said Gagik Petrosyan.
