On March 18, addressing the Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan
the Republican parliamentary member Armen Ashotyan asked why Armenia
did not respond to that part of the U.S. State Department annual
report which concerned the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and which is
equal in the report regarding Azerbaijan.

Edward Nalbandyan stated that the U.S. has voiced its stance on
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue different times and it is based on 3
principles: non use of force, right for self-determination and
territorial integrity.

When Armen Ashotyan stressed that the report stated the occupation of
the Azerbaijani territories including Nagorno-Karabakh, the foreign
minister said that his answer was right about this.

By the way, interestingly, the U.S. State Department report dwelt
only on the territorial integrity without uttering a word on the
other 2 principals of the U.S.
