INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY CONCURS THAT ARMENIAN KARABAKH CAN NEVER AGAIN BE GOVERNED BY AZERBAIJAN

YEREVAN, APRIL 8. ARMINFO. said Ross Vartian, Executive director Armenian Assembly of America in a letter to the editorial office of The Washington Times.

AAA informs ARMINFO that the letter was a response to the article of the head of Caspian Energy Consulting company Rob Sobhani. Vartian says in the letter that Karabakh Armenians have long made their choice for freedom and democracy and have defended that choice in a war forced on them more than a decade ago. Besides he writes that in “A ‘warehouse of evil,’ ” Mr. Sobhani claims that Armenian authorities are unable to manage their armed forces and armaments. The FBI disagrees and just two weeks ago praised “the professionalism and active cooperation of the Armenian authorities” in a sting operation in which would-be smugglers were nabbed before they attempted to move the weapons into the United States. In fact, Washington has praised Armenia’s military cooperation, calling the country a “key partner” in the war on terror. To claim that Azerbaijan, as compared to Armenia, has been unfairly penalized in foreign aid misrepresents the situation on the ground. Mr. Sobhani could have added that U.S. assistance to Armenia would not be so critical if Turkish and Azeri blockades were not strangling its eastern and western borders, he writes.

“While Mr. Sobhani correctly notes that Armenia’s president supports a peaceful resolution to the Karabakh conflict, his Azeri counterpart does not. President Ilham Aliyev has declared repeatedly that he is “not in a hurry” to settle the conflict and would start a new war at the time of his choosing.”
