RA MFA Criticized U.S. Ambassador to AzerbaijanMarch 6, 2006 - 19:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "I would like not to believe that was what he said," Hamlet Gasparian, MFA Spokesman stated in response to the statement by U.S. Ambassador in Azerbaijan Reno Harnish who has commented on the March 2 interview of Armenia's President Kocharian and said that the comment about the possible unification of Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia can only heighten the tension in the region and do no good. "If he did, however, I would suggest to the honorable ambassador that he not look too far, and instead comment on the statements made by Azerbaijan's leadership, which provide ample material for a variety of assumptions, including heightening tensions in the region, and even directly threatening war. It would be interesting to know what keeps the ambassador from not seeing or pretending not to see those? It appears that the US Ambassador in Baku has gone native," the RA MFA Spokesman said.
