Today the Committee controlling the lawfulness of the Referendum has accused the US Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Armenia John Evans of abusing his authority. The copies of the letter sent to the Ambassador have been also sent to the OSCE, CoE, and UN Armenian offices and to the Embassies of the COE member-countries.

The letter reads, `You obviously abused the respect and trust of our nation for the American democracy and became one of the indirect authors of the violations. During the preliminary period of the referendum you violated the laws of our country together with a number of officials from CoE'.

Despite the accusations, head of the Committee Ruben Torosyan continues to rely on the democracy of the Ambassador and together with the accusation letter he also sent to the Ambassador the copies of the court decisions with which the complaints of the Referendum Central Committee were sent back.

According to the letter, Ruben Torosyan hopes that the Ambassador will get acquainted with the documents and will compare the true picture of the referendum with the one represented by the US State Department and the European observers.
