rank of Rudolf Perina. However, he is a really experienced diplomat,
professional conflictologist. R. Perina served as U.S. Special
Envoy on local conflicts in Eurasia, he was closely involved in
the settlement of the Yugoslavian conflict, directly participated
in preparing and signing the Dayton Agreement," political scientist
Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan stated to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist,
commenting on Rudolf Perina’s appointment as U.S. Charge d’Affaires
in Armenia. According to the political scientist, R. Perina is
well aware of problems of Transdnestria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia
and Karabakh. "Most likely, R. Perina’s appointment as U.S. Charge
d’Affaires in Armenia is not an evidence for neglecting his knowledge
and values, just the opposite, it speaks about the great importance
that Washington pays to our region, in particular, to Armenia and NKR,"
the Armenian political scientist underscored.
