Some Azerbaijani media outlets spread disinformation that Assistant
Secretary for Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Philip H.

Gordon, linked process of ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols
and Karabakh conflict. Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia denied
these statements that ‘Philip H. Gordon conditioned Armenian-Turkish
protocols’ ratification by regulating process of Karabakh conflict.’

"In fact, Gordon was misunderstood. When asked by journalist in
Turkey, he said: ‘Regarding to Karabakh conflict, you are right –
the Turkish leaders said do not see the ratification without progress
in issue of Karabakh. However, we do not link these processes. These
processes shouldn’t be linked’," told Aysor’s correspondent, U.S.

Embassy’s spokeswoman Taguhi Dzhaukyan.
