While expressing disagreement with some of the wording of US Assistant
State Secretary Elizabeth Jones' remarks on Nagornyy Karabakh
describing it as a criminal separatist regime , the Democratic Armenia
movement has said that it is certain that "the fuss provoked against
Jones is part of a campaign which causes psychosis". "Feeling the
irreversibility of the democratic process and the subsequent demise of
their power, the incumbent regime is trying to mislead the public at
exactly the same juncture," a statement by the movement said on 24
January.
Lately, there have been many "artificial psychological attacks by the
authorities directed at eliciting the necessary mood in society",
including in particular, over-reporting on earthquakes, anti-Semitic
propaganda, the fuss around homosexuals and the "provoked protest"
against the remarks by Elizabeth Jones.
"Coupled with the lack of attention of the progovernment organizations
to the numerous statements by the USA and other countries on
recognizing Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and to the recognition
of Armenia as a Russian outpost, this fact shows that the fuss around
Jones' statement pursues other political ends," the authors of the
statement said.
