"AMERICAN PROVOCATION IN KEY WEST"April 6, 2001 - 19:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, April 6. /Mediamax/. Several competent sources in USA say the mediators intend to widen non-formally the format of Karabakh settlement by "including in the game" the representatives of Sukhumi and Tbilisi. This was written in the "Abkhazian threats and bribery, or the American provocation in Key West" article of Russian Internet GazetaSNG.ru newspaper. It says that loyalty of the Georgian side towards the USA regional initiatives is of no doubt and Yerevan and Baku are certainly taking this into account. On the invitation of the American side, a U.S. citizen of adygei origins, Yakhya Kazan, who names himself "a high-rank representative of Abkhazia President Vladislav Ardzinba" is now in Key West, the Internet paper writes. According to it, he was introduced to the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents as the envoy of Ardzinba, which is certainly not true. According to an information from USA and on the opinion of most of the experts, this is an obvious provocation, able to ruin the game of the participants of negotiations, and first of all of Robert Kocharian, who is the President of a country which for 10 years is in situation of a transport blockade, GazetaSNG.ru says. "The Abkhazian provocation" may play the role of the "threat" directed against Armenia, if it refuses to accept the American terms of the game. Obviously, Washington may threat Armenia with total isolation from transport-energy networks and from the significant funds that are to be allocated for social-economic development of the whole Southern Caucasus region," GazetaSNG.ru writes. --0-- Top stories President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova.
