US STATE DEPARTMENT CHANGES WRONG EXPRESSION CONSIDERING NAGORNO
KARABAKH AS OCCUPIED AZERBAIJANI TERRITORY
WASHINGTOM, APRIL 21, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The US State
Department has changed the expression in its annual report on human
rights, according to which "Armenia continues the occupation of
the Azerbaijani territory of Nagorno Karabakh and seven surrounding
Azerbaijani territories."
The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Washington Office
reported that a changed text was put on the State Department’s website
this week.
According to the new text, the Armenian forces have occupied large
sections of the Azerbaijani territory adjacent to Nagorno Karabakh;
Armenian officials claim that they have not "occupied" Nagorno
Karabakh proper.
At the same time, the report’s part on Azerbaijan, which contains a
similar expression, has not been revised yet.
