US POLICY IN CAUCASUS SMELLS OF AZERI OIL
YEREVAN, JANUARY 20. ARMINFO. The US official policy in the Caucasus
smells of Azeri oil, says academic Stepan Stepanyan commenting on US
assistant state secretary Elizabeth Jones's statement on the necessity
of liquidation of separatist regimes in Nagorny Karabakh, South
Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transdniestria.
He says that this was the US's curtsey to its allies especially in the
light of the Feb 24 Bratislava meeting of Putin and Bush who are
planning to discuss the Karabakh issue. "The US has forgotten that 200
years ago it was fighting for self-determination itself. And now the
Armenian people turns out to have no right for self-determination."
"This also means bad mark for Armenia's foreign policy and the work of
the Armenian embassies abroad," says Stepanyan.
