/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "In my view, information on 'Washington's recognizing
NKR independence' is far from plausible," Caucasus Institute Director,
political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. "Perhaps, it's beneficial to Russia, but nothing can be
said for sure since the source is unreliable," Armenian expert noted.
In the meantime, an anonymous Armenian expert said such information
might have been disseminated by Russian intelligence services.
Washington has actually imposed a tough ultimatum on Azerbaijan,
saying that "US will recognize Nagorno Karabakh's independence in case
the country attempts to resume military operations," Yeni Musavat
Azerbaijani pro-opposition party's official Web site reported. The
information was later disseminated by other media.
Baku claims that Washington, in the person of Deputy Assistant
Secretary Tina Kaidanow, responded to Baku's bellicose statements on
Karabakh conflict settlement. Furthermore, Americans insist that they
possess information on Azerbaijan's making secret preparations for war.
Observers believe Baku's rhetoric is accounted for by the fact that
territorial integrity issue is not included in the agenda of talks
over Karabakh status, NEWSru.com reports.
