YEREVAN, APRIL 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The formulation concerning Nagorno
Karabakh was again changed in the report of the U.S. Department
of State and the initial "Armenia continues keeping occupied the
Azerbaijani territory of Nagorno Karabakh and 7 surrounding Azeri
territories" variant was restored.
To recap, only few days ago, on April 20, the U.S. Department of State
reviewed that formulation involved in its annual report concerning
the human rights and presented it with the following composition:
"Armenian forces occupied big parts of the territory of Azerbaijan
neighboring to Nagorno Karabakh.
Armenian officials insist that that they did not "occupy" Nagorno
Karabakh itself."
Official Yerevan has not spread yet any interpretation concerning
fact of this change.
