Question & Answer
Response of Hamlet Gasparian, MFA Spokesman, to a Question regarding an interpretative statement by US Ambassador Reno Harnish
March 06, 2006
A. - According to the Azerbaijani media, the US Ambassador in Azerbaijan 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. How would you interpret such a statement?

Q.- I would like not to believe that that is how what he said. 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.
