Two issues are particularly signified in the reports released to US
National Investigation Congress by the director of Armenian Center for
National and International Studies Richard Giragossia. The section
on the regional issues war and conflicts are especially alarmed,
and regarding the Armenian-Turkish ties "advancement" is emphasized.

Giragossian says words and definitions are deeply selected in such
reports and are verified for about 50 times. The expert studied the
report carefully and came to a conclusion which he shared at a news
conference with the reporters that if regional war starts Azerbaijan
will start it. Expert says the report is a serious one. The only two
states that the report doesn’t cover are Turkey and Antarctica. It’s a
very important signal sent to Baku. "It’s the first time such important
report doesn’t include Turkey," expert said. He thinks the US had a
special mission to demonstrate that Turkey has less strategic meaning
for the USA. "The Republic of Armenia and Karabakh were positively
covered in the report," he said.
