/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The people of Nagorno Karabakh enjoy US’s respect
and the latter is rendering immediate humanitarian aid to Karabakh
year by year”, the declaration of Artsakh Friendly Association issued
in view of US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and
Eurasian Affairs Elizabeth Johns’ statement. The declaration was read
at yesterday’s press conference in the Armenian parliament by deputy
Hamlet Harutyunian. The declaration also stresses that Nagorno
Karabakh is by no means behind the other states of the region from
the standpoint of democracy. “Elizabeth John’s statement questions
the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group as well as the opinion
dominating in the international structures according to which the
Karabakh conflict as compared to the other post-soviet conflicts has
a specific character and demands a delicate approach”. The Artsakh
members are going to send a corresponding letter to the US Ambassador
in Armenia.
