I KNOW WHAT CRIMINAL ELEMENTS ELIZABETH JONES SAID ABOUT AND I DO NOT THINK THE MATTER CONCERNED NAGORNY KARABAKH: JOHN EVANS
YEREVAN, JANUARY 21. ARMINFO. "I know what criminal elements US Assistant Secretary of the State Elizabeth Jones had said about and I don't think that the matter concerned Nagorny Karabakh." U.S. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Armenia John Evans stated in the interview to TV company Armenia, commenting on the recent statements of Elizabeth Jones.
According to him, the U.S policy concerning the process of peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict remains unchanged. The United States provide assistance both to Yerevan and Baku in reaching resolution to the conflict, which is said in the statement of the U.S. Embassy this week. The United States is the good partner of Armenia and what is said does not require proves. As regards the statements of U.S. Assistant Secretary of the State Elizabeth Jones, "I have known her for almost 30 years as a professional diplomat and when I first read the information about its statements, I thought immediately - something is wrong here", John Evans stressed.
He thinks that the statements of Elizabeth Jones concerning criminal elements did not concern Nagorny Karabakh. Generally, she had an unofficial talk with journalists during his vide news conference and meant then that the USA and Russia must cooperate closely in the issue of settlement of the conflicts in Abkhazia, Transdnesitria, Nagorny Karabakh. And she had noted there are extremist criminal elements here in the districts bordering with Russia. "I know the geography and I don't think that the matter concerned Nagorny Karabakh - we know what districts and elements she meant", the American diplomat said.
He noted also that the USA has given humanitarian aid to Nagorny Karabakh for a long time. This assistance is also provided by the USA budget this year, at that the USA is one of the two countries of the world which provides such an aid to Nagorny Karabakh. Those, who wrongly comment on the statements of Elizabeth Jones, tries to damage the Armenian-American relations, which are at not bad level, and it is very important, John Evans said.
