PanARMENIAN.Net - The editor-in-chief of Aztag Beirut-based daily
Shahan Kandaharian commented on recent statements of U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton in Yerevan.
"Secretary Clinton's remarks on Armenia-Turkey relations, suggesting
"the ball is in Turkey's field reflect the reality. It's not the first
time the official Washington mentions normalization of Yerevan-Ankara
ties without preconditions, so Clinton's statement was nothing new,"
Kandaharian said.
Dwelling on Clinton's urging against use of force in Karabakh conflict
settlement, Kandaharian noted, "the problem lies in the following:
the Secretary of State said that as an OSCE MG co-chair the U.S. will
cooperate with conflicting parties to achieve progress in settlement.
In this case, how are Secretary Clinton's remarks coordinated with the
State Department's report suggesting that "with the help of Armenian
troops, the separatists occupied Nagorno Karabakh and 7 Azeri regions"
? This part of the report hasn't yet been given explanation from any
representative of the State Department, including the Secretary,"
Kandaharian said.
