MP from the [ruling] Republican Party of Armenia, Armen Ashotyan,
yesterday [18 March] asked Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan
in the parliament why Armenia had not reacted to the section of the
US Department of State's annual report on Azerbaijani territories,
including on the "occupation" of Nagornyy Karabakh.
Nalbandyan answered: "If you mean the territorial integrity, that is
the emphasis put in that report, it had been announced numerous times
previously and after that, and at present as well. You can find this
on the website of the US embassy in Armenia - that the USA's position
in this issue is based on three principles. Those are - the non-use of
force, the right of self-determination and the territorial integrity. I
do not believe that this formulation in the report in question reflects
their [USA's] attitude towards the Karabakh settlement itself."
