[parts omitted]
Please, in the back. That would be you. Can you tell me who you are, please?
QUESTION: Leyla Aliyeva from Azerbaijan TV. I have a question with
respect to the military escalation in the context of the ongoing
conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Following the Armenian
military exercises in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, on October
15 Armenian Major General Artak Davtyan stated that Armenian forces
also simulated attack on oil and gas infrastructures built through the
region, which actually provide crucial energy transportation link from
the Caspian Basin toward Europe and beyond.
MS. NULAND: Again, do you have is there a question here rather than a statement?
QUESTION: No yeah, yeah.
MS. NULAND: Thank you.
QUESTION: Id like to know if this issue of military threat against
major Western investment in the region was raised by the United States
with official Yerevan, and how the United States intends to react to
this threat.
MS. NULAND: I dont have anything particular for you on that today. If
we have anything to share, well get back to you.
Please, Lalit.
